Description:

The beauty of Mozart's chamber music pursued by two artists of note: "Renaud Capuçon/Kitt Armstrong - Mozart: Violin Sonatas," a 4-CD box set featuring 16 violin sonatas by leading French violinist Renaud Capuçon and up-and-coming American pianist Kitt Armstrong. Armstrong showcases the beauty of Mozart's chamber music in this 4-CD box set of 16 violin sonatas. Mozart's mastery of these two instruments is evident in these works. Capson says, "Our understanding of each other's music is perfect, simple and natural. After playing these sonatas in Salzburg we knew immediately that we should record them. Playing with Kitt is like taking a wonderful journey." Capuçon and Armstrong's performances bring Mozart's music to life, showing the extraordinary diversity and many facets of his talent. I am convinced that Renaud plays Mozart's melodies with all the splendor and grace that modern violin playing allows."Kit Armstrong Renault Capuçon was born in Chambéry, France in 1976 and studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris from the age of 14 before moving to Berlin to study with Thomas Brandis and Isaac Stern. He studied under Thomas Brandeis and Isaac Stern. He has received numerous awards. Universal Music/IMS
