If Freddy Eichelberger had not been enjoying his wide-ranging musical experiences so much, he would surely have gone off to live in the tropics, where he spent part of his childhood, and where the flowering poincianas, the taste of pepper, and the smell of earth gorged with warm rain at the full moon left an indelible mark upon him. Having said that, he no longer has any regrets since moving to Marseilles...
Because he has always kept his hand in at improvisation, he has been fortunate enough to meet and play with musicians from various backgrounds, ranging from friends in the jazz world to the great Indian singer Kishori Amonkar. Another result of this is that he often accompanies silent films on all kinds of keyboards (pipe organ, harpsichord, piano, electro-acoustic clavichord, etc.)
He often teaches various courses or master-classes and, working either solo or accompanied, he has managed to make fifty or so CDs. He is also keeping an eye on the organisation of the current full concert cycle of J.S. Bach’s cantatas at the Temple du Foyer de l’Âme in Paris.
