Album insights
Since its inception in 1942, the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne has considered Mozart a core part of its repertoire. Over the years, the orchestra has produced acclaimed recordings of Mozart's entire piano concertos and serenades. Recently, the interpretation of the violin concertos carries the essence of the bond between the violinist and the ensemble. This season, Capuçon has taken on the artistic direction, leading to an insightful collaboration. Capuçon expressed his natural musical affinity for the repertoire, citing the orchestra's sound and nuanced phrasing as exceptionally inspiring. Embracing the dual roles of soloist and conductor, Capuçon delved into the intricate musical challenges of the works with a keen sense of immediacy, aiming to bring them vividly to life in performance. The resulting 2-CD album, recorded last September at the Théâtre de Beaulieu in Lausanne, features the Rondo in C major K. 373 and the Adagio in E major K. 261.
