Festival International de Colmar - Alain Altinoglu invites Gautier Capuçon  

Frankfurt Radio Symphony
Conductor : Alain Altinoglu
Cello : Gautier Capuçon
Is it really necessary to present the very famous New World Symphony, the apotheosis of Dvorák's orchestral work?
As for the formidable Symphonies of Wind Instruments, which he wrote in memory of Debussy, these are among the most striking works of the mature Stravinsky, at the time when he decided to turn his back on post-Romanticism to open up new musical horizons.
Les Chants de l'aube by Thierry Escaich will undoubtedly be a discovery for many music lovers. Given its world premiere in Leipzig in 2023, this magnificent concerto is here reunited with its creator, the great French cellist Gautier Capuçon.
