Concert Alexandre Kantorow, Daniel Lozakovich and Gautier Capuçon

Gautier Capuçon no longer needs any introduction, being a master and mentor of France’s cello world and a Fondation partner since 2014. For this exceptional concert, the charismatic soloist and talented chamber musician welcomes two prodigies, Daniel Lozakovich on violin and Alexandre Kantorow on piano, to interpret works by Mendelssohn and Brahms. The Russian-born violinist was recognised very early in life for his extraordinary gifts and signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon at the tender age of 15. He then went on to perform with the world’s most prestigious orchestras, mesmerising audiences with his “rich and romantic playing” (France Musique radio).

On the piano, Alexandre Kantorow is the only Frenchman to have won First Prize at the illustrious Tchaikovsky Competition, taking the Grand Prix and the Gold Medal, as well. Described as a “sovereign genius” by France’s Le Monde newspaper, he is one of the finest pianists of his generation. He is thrilling not only with his boundless virtuosity but also for his keen sense of phrasing and breathtaking attention to timbre, particularly in this romantic repertoire he so cherishes.

Programme :

• Felix Mendelssohn : Trio n°1, op. 49
