Virgin Classics release Renaud Capucon's new recording of the Beethoven and Korngold Violin Concertos: Yannick Nezet-Seguin leads the Rotterdam Philharmonic.

Capucon played the renowned Ysaye Guarnerius del Gesu. Critic Harry Collier wrote: 'The Rotterdam Philharmonic sounds almost like the Vienna Philharmonic. Perhaps it is a trick of the recording engineers. Whatever: a good disc.' The recordings was a BBC CD of the Week.
