RICHARD STRAUSS

Violinist Renaud Capuçon announces his upcoming album that presents a compendium of works by Richard Strauss, a composer who has been central to his artistic trajectory since long before adulthood. Spanning rather neglected, recently-recorded gems, this release also draws upon superb concerts from the distant past. Weaving in many chamber works, the album features performances of Strauss' Piano Quartet and Violin Sonata, recorded with a stunning array of collaborators.   

Listen to a first pre-release track, a moving rendition of the second movement of Strauss’ Violin Sonata, Op. 18. The full album will be released digitally and on CD on 31 January and is now available for pre-order.
