Céline Frisch

Céline Frisch is a French harpsichordist celebrated for her vibrant, historically informed interpretations of Baroque music. A key figure in the early music revival, she co-founded the ensemble Café Zimmermann and has built a career around digging deep into the nuances of composers like Bach, Rameau, and Couperin. Her recordings, like *The Well-Tempered Clavier* and *L’aimable*, showcase her knack for blending scholarly rigor with playful spontaneity—you can almost hear her passion for uncovering the human side of these centuries-old works.

Based in Basel, Frisch teaches at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and champions lesser-known repertoire, like her explorations of Bach family viola pieces or cross-era projects (*Young & Foolish* pairs Mozart with C.P.E. Bach). Whether she’s tackling Bach’s intricate partitas or Rameau’s sparkling keyboard suites, Frisch brings warmth and curiosity to every note, making her a standout voice in the world of period performance.
