Beethoven has always lain at the heart of François-Frédéric Guy’s
musical endeavors—from his first disc of the Hammerklavier Op. 106 on
Harmonia Mundi, which revealed him as one of the future great pianists
of his generation, to his set of the concertos conducted by Philippe
Jordan and a second version of the Hammerklavier. In 2008 the festival
Le Printemps des Arts de Monaco offered him the opportunity to perform
a complete cycle of the Beethoven sonatas over a series of concerts in a
single week, an experience repeated at the Cité de la Musique in Paris in
2009. A new complete cycle in concert, begun at the Arsenal de Metz in
December 2009, will be completed in 2012.
Damien Guillon: countertenor, director
Le Banquet Céleste

Sonata No. 3 in D minor, BWV 527 • Cantata No. 35 “Geist und
sellewirdverwirret” • Fantasy and Fugue in G minor, BWV 542
Following an extremely promising first album devoted to Dowland,
here is another chance to hear Damien Guillon, accompanied by
his ensemble Le Banquet Céleste, in a program of solo cantatas by
J.S. Bach. A noted recitalist, Damien Guillon has been invited to
appear under the direction of such leading conductors as Philippe
Herreweghe, William Christie, Masaaki Suzuki, and Vincent Dumestre.
