Céline Frisch (born 1974) is a French harpsichordist.[1][2][3]

Life

Born in Marseille, Frisch began studying the harpsichord at the age of six. In 1992 she received her first prizes in harpsichord and chamber music at the Conservatory of Aix-en-Provence. She moved to Basel to continue her studies at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, in Andreas Staier's and Jesper Bøje Christensen's classes, where she obtained the soloist diploma cum laude. She also studied the pipe organ with Louis Thiry at the Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Rouen.

In 1998, with Pablo Valetti[4] and other comrades of the Schola Cantorum, she founded the variable geometry ensemble Café Zimmermann of which she is artistic director and plays as a soloist or continuist.[5]

Her recordings, mainly dedicated to Bach, have received numerous critical accolades, including her Goldberg Variations, recorded in part with the Café Zimmermann, which received the Diapason d'Or of the year 2002 and the 2001 "Choc de l'année" of Le Monde de la musique.

In 1996, she was appointed Juventus Laureate of the Council of Europe and in 2002, was the first harpsichordist nominated by the Victoires de la musique classique.
