Let’s say right away that it was a concert of exceptional quality. The two artists sho a harmony born from a long habit in which the two instruments are integrated in a perfectly balanced way with the piano that never overwhelms the string instrument. This is also because Capuçon extracts a full sound from his cello as rarely happens. Capuçon is certainly at the top of world cellism: an immaculate technique, an always perfect intonation but above all an interpretation that ranges from pianissimo to forte (within the limits of the instrument) passing through all intensities. Ducros is certainly an excellent partner and it would be interesting to listen to him in the solo repertoire: very often musical talents do not express their full potential because by choice they decide to devote themselves to ensemble music. Excellent the performances of Schumann and Beethoven (who in opus 69 already indicates the path that will lead him to extend the formal limits of the sonata with a scherzo that precedes the adagio reduced to a few bars and that seamlessly introduces the final mouvement). Less happy, from a compositional point of view, is Grieg’s sonata which alternates moments of great musicality with “pauses” of inspiration, but the duo’s execution was impeccable, which collected a great and well-deserved success with the audience (large as rarely happens for the cello) and which concludes the concert with three encores: the swan piece from Saint-Saëns’ “carnival of the animals”, a mouvement from a sonata by Prokoviev (a questionable choice – much better to choose pieces that make sense on their own) and finally (a bit of chauvinism – why not?) a transcription of a famous song by Edith Piaf.

PS I would kindly ask the readers of this blog to  register  (which implies nothing) which can be easily made  by “clicking” the black square above each post. By so doing they will receive an e-mail message whenever a new post is published.

PS A “blogger” is not an oracle and inevitably makes errors (the minimum possible..). I often receive “corrections” not always fundamental and not always accurate. Just as I submit myself to the judgement of others with the name and surname so those who want to have the goodness to report errors or inaccuracies will have to do so only by sending a comment: everyone has his own responsibility.
