Here it is, act III of François-Frédéric Guy’s Beethoven Project. On the programme: Beethoven’s complete music for cello and piano with cellist Xavier Phillips, recorded by Nicolas Bartholomée at the Arsenal in Metz.

François-Frédéric Guy is regarded as one of the most fascinating pianists of his generation. He has performed worldwide with many important orchestras such as the Berlin Symphony, Hallé, Philharmonia, London Philharmonic, Munich Philharmonic, Orchestre de Paris, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse and San Francisco Symphony, to name just a few. He collaborated with world renowned conductors including Esa-Pekka Salonen, Bernard Haitink, Kazushi Ono, Marc Albrecht, Philippe Jordan, Daniel Harding, Neeme Järvi and Michael Tilson Thomas.

Xavier Philipps won several international prizes (Second Prize and Special Prize of Jeunesses Musicales of Belgrade, Special Prize at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Competition, Third Prize and Special Prize at Rostropovich Competition in Paris and First Prize unanimously in the 1st Competition of Helsinki). His encounter with Mstislav Rostropovitch proved especially fruitful since it marked the beginning of a long collaboration during which Xavier Phillips received the guidance and encouragement of the master cellist.
