Violinist – Renaud Capucon

The great violinist Renaud Capuçon played the first notes in the hall of the Philharmonie de Paris;

 "I had the opportunity and honor, as a violin soloist, playing the "I had the opportunity and honor, as a violin soloist, playing the first musical notes issued in this magnificent hall of the Philharmonie de Paris, at rehearsal. This will remain one of the highlights of my life as a musician. I was almost afraid, but I was highlights of my life as a musician. I was almost afraid, but I was immediately won over: the acoustics are bright, very natural; about the sound texture, it is clear and round. I had a feeling of comfort.

When it was the turn of the orchestra to play, I found that all the instruments were remarkably enhanced. The proximity of sensation is extraordinary.

Everything is done so that the artist feels good. Certainly there will be some small that the artist feels good. Certainly there will be some small adjustments to be made, but for now, this sublime room already sounds great. This is more than ready. As you see, I'm excited!

Sound is a vehicle for emotion. So, the more present it is, the more you can more present it is, the more you can receive it physically - which will enhance the experience. That makes all the the experience. That makes all the difference."
