Jérôme Hantaï
Viola da gamba player Jérôme Hantaï has amassed a large catalog of critically acclaimed recordings made with various chamber groups. He often performs with his brothers, Baroque flutist Marc Hantaï and keyboardist Pierre Hantaï.
Jérôme Hantaï was born in Paris in 1961 and grew up in the Paris area. His father was artist Simon Hantaï. Showing an interest in music early on, Jérôme was self-taught for some years, playing not only viola da gamba but also harpsichord, fortepiano, and recorder. He attended the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, where he studied with Wieland Kuijken and received a first prize upon graduating in 1984. Back in France, Hantaï plunged into the rapidly growing historical performance movement. He participated in the founding of the Orchestre Baroque d’Île-de-France and the Ensemble Orlando Gibbons. Hantaï also performed with some of the leading early music lights of the day, including René Jacobs, Jean-Claude Malgoire, his teacher Wieland Kuijken, and the latter's brother, Sigiswald. In 1992, he was heard on viol on the soundtrack of the film Tous les Matins du Monde, led by viola da gamba legend Jordi Savall. In 1997, he made his recording debut on the Virgin Classics label, issuing an album of viola da gamba music by Marin Marais with Pierre Hantaï and Alix Verzier. He released several more albums of French 17th and 18th century viol music on Virgin Classics.
Jérôme was the founder of the Ensemble Jérôme Hantaï, a viol consort later renamed Spes Nostra, and Trio Almaviva, serving as director of both groups. He continues to perform as a fortepianist as well, and in 2002, he appeared on fortepiano on a recording of William Walton's Henry V, with the BBC Symphony conducted by Leonard Slatkin. On viola da gamba, Hantaï continued to appear with a variety of chamber ensembles, and his recordings have been garlanded with French recording industry awards, including two Diapasons d'Or and a Choc du Monde de la musique. In 2022, playing fortepiano, he released the album Haydn: Trios avec Piano, featuring flute trios and piano trios, with Marc Hantaï on flute, Alessandro Moccia on violin, and Verzier on cello.
