[edit]Ophélie Gaillard (born June 13, 1974) is a French cellist.
Early life
[edit]Gaillard was born in Paris. While studying at the Paris Conservatory, she obtained three first prizes in music: one in chamber music in the class of Maurice Bourgue, one in cello in the class of Philippe Muller, and one in baroque cello in the class of Christophe Coin. A recipient of a Certificate of Aptitude in cello pedagogy and a license in musicology from the Sorbonne, Gaillard has been teaching since 2000.[1] [2]
In 1998, she won third prize in the International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition, and was voted "Relevation: Solo Instrumentalist of the Year" at the Victoires de la musique classique in 2003. She is a recitalist and champion of the solo cello repertoire, from the Bach suites to contemporary music.[3]
Career
[edit]Her recordings from the Ambroisie label of the solo Bach cello suites, Britten's cello suites, and his cello sonata with pianist Vanessa Wagner were noticed by music critics internationally.[4] Her recent disk dedicated to Gabriel Fauré's works for cello and piano, recorded with pianist Bruno Fontaine, was notably distinguished by the Strad magazine.
Collaborations
[edit]Since 2004, she has worked with accordionist Pascal Contet. She also collaborates with dancers, in particular Daniel Larrieu and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui.
In 2005, Ophélie Gaillard founded Pulcinella, a chamber ensemble dedicated to playing Baroque music on period instruments.[5] Pulcinella's recording of the Vivaldi complete cello sonatas were acclaimed by the international press.
Instruments
[edit]Ophélie Gaillard plays a cello made by Francesco Goffriller in 1737.[6] She also owns a 1855 Bernardel cello, which she uses for romantic and modern music.
