Stéphane Tétreault


Stéphane Tétreault is a Canadian cellist. He first made international headlines as the recipient of Bernard Greenhouse's cello, the 1707 "Countess of Stainlein, Ex-Paganini" Stradivarius, generously loaned to him by Mrs. Jacqueline Desmarais and following her passing by her daughter Mrs. Sophie Desmarais.

Critics

Stéphane Tétreault has garnered great praise from the world's leading music critics: "Tétreault’s disc charmed me from the off; this is just pure, lyrical, unadulterated playing of the highest order, with a maturity that belies his 22 years... I can’t wait to hear more from him.", "His vibrato and tone are varied, his bowing techniques immaculate and his awareness of harmony and consequent shading omnipresent.", "The solo playing is astonishingly mature not merely in its technical attributes but also in its warmth, brilliance and subtlety of colour and inflection.".
