Guillaume De Chassy, a French pianist and composer, has carved out a niche for himself in the realms of jazz and classical music, demonstrating a rare blend of improvisational brilliance and deep reverence for the compositional structure. His musical journey is a testament to his versatile talent and innovative approach, as evidenced by his diverse discography that spans from jazz interpretations of classical works to original compositions that blur the genres' boundaries. Noteworthy releases such as "Actualités," "Scènes d'intérieur," and the evocative "Waltz for an Absent Lover" display his knack for crafting intimate, emotive pieces that resonate with listeners, whereas projects like "Round About Mozart" and "Schubert-Ellington (Live)" showcase his unique ability to re-imagine classical motifs through a jazz lens.

De Chassy's work often reflects a poetic sensibility, marrying the narrative depth of classical music with the spontaneity and expressive freedom of jazz. Albums like "L'âme des poètes" and "Danse avec moi" explore themes of love, absence, and the human condition, inviting listeners into a richly textured sonic landscape. His project "Eine winterreise" exemplifies this fusion, where he interprets classical material with a fresh, improvisatory perspective.
