Winner of the International Competition for Young Organists in Moscow in 2013 and already getting noticed in France, Anastasie Jeanne is charting her path between organ and harpsichord. Trained at the Paris Conservatoire under Olivier Baumont, Blandine Rannou, and Kenneth Weiss, she collaborates with Les Ambassadeurs, Le Poème Harmonique and Le Balcon, and has performed everywhere from Chambord to the Philharmonie de Paris. With a debut recording devoted to Simon Simon and Beauvarlet-Charpentier released on L’Encelade, the young keyboardist asserts the importance of mastering both instruments to reveal all the colours of the Baroque—and offers a personal vision of the performer’s role. Interview.

You began music very early, studying the organ with François Clément at the CRR in Clermont-Ferrand, as well as the harpsichord. Why these choices?
