Tugan Sokhiev, Renaud Capuçon

This is the second time he has been invited to play at the Easter Festival and he will join Renaud Capuçon on stage to perform Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto n°2 for the first time ever, a piece that sees virtuosity compete with lyricism. This will be followed by Simple Symphony, composed around the same time by Benjamin Britten, featuring some dance rhythms redolent of the baroque style. Finally, Tugan Sokhiev has chosen to perform Beethoven’s Symphony n°4, a piece imbued with the elegance of Viennese classicism.
