Guillaume Rebinguet Sudre has been a fan of seventeenth and eighteenth century music ever since he was a boy, and has spent his entire musical life exploring and understanding period instruments. Not only is he a violinist, a harpsichordist, a conductor and a composer, but his interest in instruments also finds expression in his work as a harpsichord-maker and his research into instrument-making. As a result, he has developed his own unusual musical vision, combining various fields of artistic endeavour. As a concert performer he sets out to give spontaneous, living performances that are consistent with the backgrounds against which the works were created. He also shows real relish for projects that take him off the beaten track. He appears - both as a solo performer and as a member of ensembles - at a wide range of festivals and other events, both in France and abroad.
After his time with The Ensemble Baroque Atlantique, he formed the Ensemble HEXATON with the aim of diversifying, delving deeper into and consolidating his own artistic methodology by sharing it with other musicians. He has made a number of recordings that offer an accurate illustration of his musical state of mind, including a first solo record, comprising Tomaso Albinoni’s violin sonatas, which proved popular with both the general public and specialists (4 Diapasons, Muse d’Or), an orchestral project with the Ensemble Baroque Atlantique devoted to Johann Sebastian Bach’s concertos, which involved reconstructing previously unheard versions of a number of works (4 Diapasons, 3 Classica stars), and a highly personal version of all Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas BWV 1001 to 1006, offering a mirrored reading by alternating between performances on the violin, harpsichord and organ (4 Diapasons, 5 Classica “Coup de Cœur” stars). He enjoys sharing what he has learned from his musical experiences by engaging in various educational activities and giving master classes.
He teaches Baroque violin at the Conservatoire de Bordeaux, and also conducts the Period Instruments department’s Baroque orchestra.
