Thibaut Roussel

Thibaut Roussel is a French cellist known for his interpretations of Baroque and early music. He frequently performs and records works for solo cello, as well as chamber music featuring the viola da gamba and other period instruments. His repertoire spans a wide range of composers, from well-known figures like Vivaldi and Marin Marais to lesser-known gems like Robert de Visée and Gasparo Garavaglia. Roussel's recordings often explore specific themes or composers, showcasing his deep understanding and appreciation for the nuances of early music performance practice.

Roussel's focus on historically informed performance brings a fresh perspective to these older works. He often collaborates with other musicians specializing in early music, resulting in dynamic and engaging recordings. His recent releases demonstrate his versatility, moving from the melancholic beauty of "The Last Rose" to the intricate counterpoint of Sainte-Colombe and Marais's works for two viols. This dedication to exploring the rich tapestry of early music has established Roussel as a respected figure in the field.
