Le Concert Français / Pierre Hantaï
Pierre Hantaì swaps harpsichord for conductor's baton, directing his own ensemble, Le Concert Français. Hantaï performs as a soloist around the world, often as a guest of Jordi Savall or with such friends as Hugo Reyne, Sébastien Marq, Skip Sempé, Christophe Coin and Jean-Guihen Queyras to play chamber music. His extensive discography includes the first book of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier [MIR9930], and the Goldberg Variations [MIR9945]. His traversal of the works of Domenico Scarlatti has garnered rave reviews everywhere.
