Cellist Gautier Capuçon has a new CD: Gaïa! He spoke with Jim Cunningham about this record.
All pieces included on the album were inspired by the Earth, with compositions from Max Richter, Xavier Foley, Joe Hisaishi, and many others. Gautier talks about drawing his own inspiration from our planet's beauty and climate situation. Gaïa was recorded in the mountains of Bavaria, Germany, which Gautier believes aided in capturing the message of music, and a promotional video was shot at Mont Blanc.
