Artists
Antoine Tamestit (viola)About
These universal and fascinating works have been Tamestit’s favourites almost for ever and those that made him switch from the violin to the viola when he was 10 years old!
Tamestit’s playing and the exceptional sound of his Stradivarius shed new light on those eternal masterpieces as he continues to develop an intense career through concerto, chamber and solo performances.
"When I discovered Bach's Cello Suites at the age of ten, they were such a revelation to me that I asked my violin teacher of the time if I could change instruments and switch to the cello. Having convinced me that, in that case, I would have to relearn virtually the entire technique of the instrument, she had the idea of showing me a viola and playing it for me. Another revelation, and love at first sight! After just a few days I put viola strings on my little violin, which sounded so deep, especially on the C string, that I felt the vibrations through my whole body. Since then I have never regretted choosing the viola, especially as I very soon had the opportunity to play transcriptions of those very Cello Suites. It was such a joy to me that I spent weeks just playing by ear a few bars of certain movements and begged my teachers to let me work on them." - Antoine Tamestit
