Cellist Camille Thomas plays Orfeo ed Euridice: Dance of the Blessed Spirits for Deutsche Grammophon. Plenty of feeling in this performance, and a great introduction to the Rococco composer, Christoph Willibald Gluck.

Un duo plein d'émotion : Jane Birkin revisite son titre "Jane B" avec la violoncelliste Camille Thomas.

Camille Thomas, reconnue comme l’une des plus talentueuses violoncellistes, a entrepris un projet audacieux intitulé "The Chopin Project". Ce projet ambitieux explore la vie et l’œuvre du célèbre compositeur à travers différentes perspectives musicales. Dans cette aventure musicale, Camille Thomas a invité Jane Birkin à se joindre à elle pour réenregistrer « Jane B » dans une version revisitée. La collaboration entre les deux artistes est un hommage à Serge Gainsbourg et à l’univers musical de Chopin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmE6kMWkQpA&ab_channel=DeutscheGrammophon-DGSur ses réseaux sociaux, Camille Thomas a exprimé le sentiment qu'elle a éprouvé en enregistrant avec Jane Birkin:Qui d’autre que l’icône Jane Birkin pouvais-je rêver d’accompagner dans cette réinterprétation, 54 ans plus tard, de sa chanson mythique dans une version plus intime et classique pour voix, violoncelle et piano ?Il est difficile d’exprimer l’émotion et la gratitude que nous avons eues avec Julien Brocal à enregistrer cette pièce avec vous, Jane. Les mots manquent mais laissons parler la musique. Et surtout : MERCI !

Camille Thomas Live!

Good news Cello fans of Dubai, Camille Thomas, is playing live on February 6, 2020, at the Dubai Opera. Be ready for a night of melody from Thomas herself, but for those who are not in the knows of the classical music world, Who is Camille Thomas exactly? 

Camille Thomas

Camille Thomas has been described as the 'New Star of the Cello' by Jens Rasmussen of DR Radio in Denmark. In 2014, she was recognized for her exemplary skills as a nominee of the Newcomer category of the award-winning body of ‘ Les Victoires de la Musique’ which is also better known as the French Grammys. She won that nomination and received the “New Talent of the Year 2014" award. She was also awarded an ECHO Klassik Preis in 2017 and was signed by Deutsche Grammophon international as the first cellist in 40 years in the same year.

Instrument

Camille Thomas has recently received the prestigious honor of using the 'De Munck, Feuermann’ Stradivarius cello, which was loaned to her for a year by the Nippon Music Foundation in September of 2019. This Cello holds a tantalizing tale of history from talent Cellist to another.

Its initial owner in 1860 was Monsieur de Barrau, who was a famous amateur Cello player who lent the instrument to his friend named August-Joseph Franchomme, who was intending to have the Cello used by his son. Unfortunately, the son of Mr. Franchomme died young. After that, in 1934, the Cello resurfaced under the ownership of W. E. Hill and Sons, who then sold it to Emanuel Feuermann. Feuermann used the Cello for multiple recordings and concerts, that is why the instrument was named after him.

Nippon Music Foundation obtained ownership of the instrument in 1996. Due to its extensive history, only those who are exceptional can use it. Hence it has arrived in the hands of Camille Thomas.

Music

As of this date, Camille those have released two albums, namely, her debut album REMINISCENCES  from 2016 and follow by her 2017 release of SAINT-SAËNS - OFFENBACH. These albums have received positive responses from critics citing that her sophisticated techniques are something that should be admired despite her youth.
