Under the aegis of the Fondation de France, the Gautier Capuçon Foundation supports talented young artists in their professional debut.
Today, we will hear two of its brilliant winners, Luka and Léo Ispir (violin and cello respectively), in a beautiful programme ranging from baroque music (Bach, Handel and Rameau) to contemporary music (Fazil Say), with a compulsory stop at the sublime Sonata for Violin and Cello by Ravel – born exactly 150 years ago, it was only logical that we celebrate his work in style!
