STRAWINSKI · CHAUSSON · SAINT-SAËNS · STRAUSS · RAVEL

Music that invites us to silence: the European Union Youth Orchestra, led by Spanish conductor Gustavo Gimeno, unfurls a panorama of scintillating music to astound you. The many colours of a bygone age shine through the music. Please note the warning «may contain traces of nostalgia». The soloist is audience favourite Renaud Capuçon, who lends two bravura pieces for violin his own lustre.
