Biography

Bismuth studied the violin with Roland Charmy at the Conservatoire de Paris.

From 1993 to 1998, Bismuth was teacher of baroque violin at the Conservatoire de Paris and is currently teacher at the Versailles, Boulogne Billancourt, Paris and Reims conservatories. Learning the baroque violin allows him to interpret differently classical, romantic and contemporary repertoires.

He has performed in numerous concerts with his ensemble "La Tempesta" and the Atlantis Quartet, [1] of which he is co-founder and also with the organist Louis Thiry, who opened up the horizon of early music to him. He has been involved for many years in Jean-Claude Malgoire's ensembles.

He has recorded Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin , Heinrich Biber's Rosary Sonatas and sonatas by Jean-Marie Leclair, but also works by Ravel, Kreisler and Enesco. Under the title "Musique dans la cité interdite" he took part with the "Ensemble XVIII-21" of flutist Jean-Christophe Frisch, to the recording of music from the imperial court of China in the 18th century, and also pieces by Teodorico Pedrini and Joseph-Marie Amiot.

In 2011, with the organist Louis Thiry, he recorded Tientos by Francisco Correa de Arauxo, playing the violin, the viola and the viola da spalla.
