March 23, 2018 at 01:08 PM · I love Renaud Capuçon. If you are working on the Beethoven Romances then his youtube videos are absolute must-sees. I think he's such an elegant violinist who plays with great taste. I would love to hear him play Bartok because obviously that's much different from early Beethoven.
