Cello Marriage
A marriage-like relationship: cellist Gautier Capuçon and his more than 300-year-old instrument. »The cello made by Matteo Goffriller in 1701 is one of the most beautiful instruments there is. The sound is incredible. And limitless. It has no limit. Every time I play, I discover new facets. [...] It took me several years to be able to tame it. Whereas the cello would probably say that it had tamed me. And there is something to that. In the end, the equation is: instrument plus player equals one.« In very practical terms, Capuçon applies the equation to solo works, including those by Zoltán Kodály - Gramophone Magazine hailed his interpretation: »Capuçon gives me virtually everything I could want from a performance – narrative sweep, vivid color and rhythmic vitality, and a wealth of soulful, expressive detail.«
