Intuition, a captivating album of short pieces for solo cello with piano or orchestra, has been conceived by Gautier Capuçon to

“reflect the story of my life and follow the various stages in my emotional development”. It brings together much-loved numbers

by composers such as Saint-Saëns, Fauré, Massenet, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov and Elgar with newer music by Astor Piazzolla, the

Italian cellist Giovanni Sollima and the pianist Jérôme Ducros, who also appears on the album. As Gautier Capuçon says: “In music,

in life, communication is the essence of everything and of anything … You share something.”
