Mao Fujita
with Renaud Capuçon and Kian Soltani
Gnossiennes
Mao Fujita (piano)
Renaud Capuçon (violin)
Kian Soltani (violoncello)
Franz Schubert: Piano trio No. 1 in B flat major, D 898
Johannes Brahms: Piano trio No. 1 in B major, Op. 8
When asked when he started engaging with music, Mao Fujita gives the number one: “At the age of one, I began rhythm and ear training, and at three, I started playing the piano.”
Born and trained in Tokyo, Fujita is making waves in distant Europe by winning prizes at prestigious competitions. He also caused a sensation in 2021 when he performed all of Mozart’s solo sonatas at the Verbier Festival and later recorded them in the studio. A young pianist making his debut on a new label with Mozart sonatas! That hadn’t happened in a long time.
As a child, he once wanted to be a taxi driver, “because taxi doors in Japan open automatically.” Today, Fujita lives in Berlin. A devoted admirer of Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s paintings — “His art has the power to draw the viewer into a labyrinth” — he also has a deep appreciation for chamber music. In Verbier, he performed Beethoven’s complete violin sonatas with Marc Bouchkov. The anticipation is all the greater as Mao Fujita will form a top-class trio at the piano festival with violinist Renaud Capuçon and cellist Kian Soltani to perform works by Franz Schubert and Johannes Brahms.

Informations
Mao Fujita
With an innate musical sensitivity and naturalness to his artistry, 24-year old pianist Mao Fujita has already impressed many leading musicians as one of those special talents which come along only rarely, equally at home in Mozart as the major romantic repertoire, with the New York Times writing, “As soon as his fingers touched the keys, waves of airy filigree, beautifully shaped and accomplished, emerged in almost continuous streams” on the occasion of his US debut at Carnegie Hall in January 2023.
Renaud Capuçon
French violinist Renaud Capuçon is firmly established internationally as a major soloist, recitalist and chamber musician. He is known and loved for his poise, depth of tone and virtuosity, and he works with the world’s most prestigious orchestras, artists, venues and festivals.
Kian Soltani
Hailed by The Times as a “remarkable cellist” and described by Gramophone as “sheer perfection”, Kian Soltani’s playing is characterised by a depth of expression, sense of individuality and technical mastery, alongside a charismatic stage presence and ability to create an immediate emotional connection with his audience. He is now invited by the world’s leading orchestras, conductors and recital promoters, propelling him from rising star to one of the most talked about cellists performing today.
