Gautier Capuçon and Yuja Wang perform Chopin: Cello Sonata in G Minor: III. Largo

🎻🎹 A Captivating Chamber Performance: Capuçon & Wang
Filmed at Koerner Hall, The Royal Conservatory, Toronto, Canada.

This remarkable recital features two works by Frédéric Chopin—the Sonata in A Major and the Polonaise brillante in C Major—alongside César Franck’s Sonata in A Major, originally written for violin and masterfully transcribed for cello by 19th-century virtuoso Jules Delsart.

The Classical Review praised their Boston recital, stating:

“Capuçon and Wang share a similar vigor and alert spontaneity that make it seem as if they are finishing each other’s phrases. The French cellist plays with a robust intensity that brings out drama from even the most delicate of works … Wang proved a subtle and thoughtful partner. It seemed that the two had been playing together for a lifetime.”

A performance of poetic dialogue and passionate unity, this concert is a true celebration of Romantic-era chamber music.
