About this concert

What could be finer than a recital given by a keyboard maestro? A recital given by two keyboard maestros, of course! Yoann Moulin and Pierre Gallon tackle the ultimate challenge on a double set of keys, with the imaginative repertoire of the English virginalists on the music stand. Between creation, interpretation and improvisation, the humour, tenderness, frivolity and subtle contrapuntal inventiveness of master keyboardists such as William Byrd, John Bull and Thomas Tomkins are shown to full advantage.

About the performers

The young French harpsichordist Yoann Moulin performs with ensembles inclucing Capriccio Stravagante, Ricercar Consort, Le Concert Spirituel, Arts Florissants en L’Achéron. His first solo album, Girolamo Frescobaldi - Intavolatura di Cimbalo, was released on the Encelade label. His recordings with L'Achéron and La Tempête have been awarded the Diapason d'Or. Moulin recently founded Une Bande de Clavecins, an early keyboard ensemble performing written and improvised Renaissance music.

Music as a collective adventure: that is the artistic conviction that brought Pierre Gallon from the Paris Conservatory to the international stage. The harpsichord specialist can regularly be heard with Pygmalion, Le Poème Harmonique, Ensemble Correspondances, Inalto, Les Musiciens de Saint Julien and Le Caravansérail. His chamber music partners from the very beginning have included Lucile Boulanger, Thomas Dunford, Alice Foccroulle, Bertrand Cuiller, and the keyboardists of Une Bande de Clavecins. But also as a soloist Gallon has attracted the attention of early music fans, for instance with an acclaimed recording of keyboard music published by Pierre Attaingnant (2014) and the album Blancrocher, an award-winning imaginary meeting between J.J. Froberger and Louis Couperin (Diapason d'Or, ffff Télérama).
