Mathieu Lussier is an esteemed figure in the classical music realm, renowned for his virtuosity as a bassoonist and his dynamic capabilities as a conductor. Over the years, he has carved out a niche for himself, not only for his instrumental skill but also for his scholarly approach to music, often rediscovering and rejuvenating forgotten pieces of the classical repertoire. His oeuvre includes a fascinating mix of traditional and more obscure works, as evidenced by his recent releases like "Les soupers du roy" and "Les fêtes de Polymnie : Ouverture," which showcase the splendor of French Baroque music.

Lussier's passion for woodwind music is particularly reflected in his albums "Paris 1847 - La musique d'Eugène Jancourt" and "Jancourt: 3 petites sonates pour le basson," where he breathes new life into lesser-known compositions of the 19th century. His adeptness at both solo and ensemble performances can be heard in recordings such as "Telemann: Concertos & Ouverture," exhibiting the vast range and expressive capabilities of the bassoon. He also brings a modern edge to classical standards, demonstrated in his interpretations of "Mozart: Horn Concertos & Bassoon Concerto" and "Vivaldi," reinvigorating these timeless pieces for contemporary audiences. Lussier's contributions to classical music extend beyond performance, as he seeks to connect listeners to the rich narratives of the past, something that resonates in his thematic collection "Le monde d'hier" and the evocatively titled "La cigale et les violons."
