Gautier Capucon - Destination Paris (CD)

Destination Paris is a concept album from our best-selling core classical artist, following the success stories of Intuition (84,000), Emotions (145,000), and Sensations (63,000). Well-known lean-back repertoire from popular film melodies to French chansons to classical pieces - including "La Foule" by Édith Piaf, the main theme from Summer of '42 by Michel Legrand, "Beau soir" by Debussy, Sicilienne by Fauré, and "Chi Mai" by Ennio Morricone. Recorded with pianist Jérôme Ducros, the Maîtrise de Radio France, and the Orchestre de chambre de Paris under conductor Lionel Bringuier. Jean Jacques Goldman, one of France's most popular songwriters and composers, wrote a new song for this album, "Pense à nous", for cello, children's choir and orchestra and made a special arrangement of his "Envole-moi". Paris will be a worldwide destination in 2024 as the hosting city of the Olympic Games, for which Gautier's album will be the perfect soundtrack.
