They both grew up in Chambéry. Gautier and Renaud Capuçon share the same love for classical music and have played with the most beautiful orchestras around the world. In “A Sunday in the Country” on France 2, Gautier Capuçon told why he finally decided to pursue a solo career, without his big brother who inspired and helped him so much.

Guest on the show A Sunday in the countryside this March 3, 2024 on France 2, Gautier Capuçon spoke about his start to his career but also his beginnings with his brother Renaud, violinist, French conductor and husband of Laurence Ferrari. Nostalgic, the 42-year-old musician confided in front of Frédéric Lopez and the two other guests, Isabelle Boulay and Jérémy Ferrari: “There was, at least at the beginning, I had the chance to do my first concerts with my brother Renaud who inspired me, he had been in music for 5 years, I then had the very big chance to meet conductors, great musicians who trusted me and made my debut with almost all the greatest philharmonic orchestras in the world: Berlin, Vienna, New York, Chicago, Amsterdam …”
“And besides, when you play with your brother, you say, I admire him, etc. How does that come to fruition, how do we organize ourselves to have a solo career, a career as a couple?” then asked Frédéric Lopez. “At that time, we were best friends, it was a privilege, it was the dream to be able to play all these concerts together, it was extraordinarily easy until one day when I think we needed to open his own path and I think that I too as a little brother perhaps also needed for myself, to be listened to. It was important for me to be able to develop my own voice ,” revealed Gautier Capuçon with sincerity.
“And what’s incredible is that as soon as you start doing things a little alone, at the age of 20 you achieve a musical victory”, “We fly away, the world opens up to us it’s extraordinary I savor it and on the other hand always with this responsibility to say to myself, I must not disappoint either“, added Delphine’s husband.
A baguette education!
A little earlier in the show, when he was in the barn with Frédéric Lopez, Isabelle Boulay and Jérémy Ferrari, Gautier Capuçon spoke of the rigor of his youth. A rigor which has conditioned him for his profession as an international classical musician: “In fact, the reason why I have so much trouble taking time for myself, I think it’s because, I said it the other day to my parents, I think it’s because when I was little, when I was young and I worked 6 or eight hours, my parents didn’t tell me: ‘you worked really well today’, my mother said to me: ‘you did done eight hours, you could have done 8h15’ or ‘you did six hours you could have worked an hour more'”. An education the hard way!
