Aufgang

Aufgang (Ascent) is a violin concerto written by the French composer Pascal Dusapin for Renaud Capuçon between 2008 and 2011. The violinist premièred it in 2013 in Cologne. He subsequently performed it in Seattle, London and in Switzerland, before recording it with Myung-whun Chung conducting the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France in 2015. Since its première, the concerto has been taken up by other soloists, notably Viktoria Mullova and Carolin Widmann.
