François-Frédéric GUY – Biography

Télécharger la traduction française de la biographie ici – In Deutsch hier

François-Frédéric Guy is widely regarded first and foremost as an outstanding interpreter of the German Romantics and their forebears. The way he creates musical structure in sound is unrivalled, especially evident in his interpretations of Beethoven, with whom he has a particularly intensive musical relationship. The pianist also has a special affinity with the music of Bartók, Brahms, Liszt, and Prokofiev and a strong commitment to contemporary music. He has close links to composers such as Ivan Fedele, Marc Monnet, Gérard Pesson, Bruno Mantovani and Hugues Dufourt, who dedicated his masterpiece for solo piano, Erlkönig (2006), to the pianist. He has also given the premiere of works including Mantovani’s Double Concerto (2012), which he performed with the Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto, Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. In 2013 he gave the South Korean premiere of Tristan Murail’s Le Désenchantement du monde with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra.

Une captivante intégrale Beethoven en “joué-dirigé” – Classicagenda – Mars 2019 (in French)

L’intégrale des Concertos pour piano de Beethoven en seulement deux
soirées, les 15 et 16 mars 2019… qui pouvait relever ce défi sinon
François-Frédéric Guy, le plus beethovénien des pianistes français ? Et
il n’en est pas à son coup d’essai. En 2008, le Printemps des Arts de
Monte-Carlo lui confiait déjà l’exécution de l’intégrale des sonates de
Beethoven sur une semaine. Le pianiste avoue lui-même “ne pas sortir
indemne” de ce type d’exercice, admettons que nous sommes sortis
enthousiasmés par ce cycle !
