Antoine Tamestit (FR)

About

Antoine Tamestit is a French violist whose playing draws on what Bachtrack called a natural musicality paired with an almost effortless ability to communicate with an audience. His technique is considered impeccable, and that combination of precision and expressive ease places him among the most compelling chamber musicians working today. He gravitates toward repertoire that rewards close listening, including the rich string quintet writing of Brahms, and he performs regularly alongside leading names in the classical world. His work spans chamber music, string quartet repertoire and concerto performances, reflecting a broad range within the classical tradition.
