French cellist Gautier Capuçon already has a vast catalogue of recordings, but surveying them reveals he's essentially a Romantic at heart. His readings of Schubert (Cello Sonata in A Minor D. 821, Arpeggione) and Brahms (Concerto for Violin, Cello and Orchestra) are robust, nimble exercises that bring out the whimsical spirit of the 19th century, as does his perfectly phrased Schumann (“Fantasiestücke, Op. 73”). Of course, his few 20th-century endeavours are just as affecting. Case in point, his Ravel (Piano Trio, M. 67) is brilliantly pensive and dreamy.
