Renaud Capuçon in conversation with Matthew Hunter
Ligeti’s Violin Concerto with Renaud Capuçon and David Robertson
György Ligeti’s Violin Concerto is a work of many faces, taking as its inspiration such diverse sources as African music and M. C. Escher’s “impossible reality” pictures. In this recording from 2010, this multi-faceted work is performed by Renaud Capuçon und David Robertson, framed by Liszt’s tone poem Orpheus and Bartók’s ballet music The Wooden Prince.
