About

Three composers, three masterworks of our time, performed by three orchestras - and a central figure, the moving spirit behind this fine project devoted to the concertante cello: Jean-Guihen Queyras, voted Artist of the Year 2008 in Diapason. Three sometimes very different, yet at the same time highly complementary ways of conceiving the concerto in the 21st century.

Long a soloist with the Ensemble Intercontemporain, Jean-Guihen Queyras was profoundly influenced by working with Pierre Boulez. His discography, distinguished by a musical eclecticism, includes works by Haydn (on period instruments) as well as Dvorák and 20th-century composers.

An enthusiastic chamber musician, he performs alongside Emmanuel Pahud, Isabelle Faust, Alexander Melnikov and Alexandre Tharaud, and founded the Arcanto Quartet with Tabea Zimmermann, Antje Weithaas and Daniel Sepec in 2004.
