Gester is an organist and harpsichordist. He is director of the early music department at the conservatory of Strasbourg, the French city where he lives.
In 1990, Gester founded Le Parlement de Musique, an ensemble dedicated to the research and performance of 17th- and 18th-century works. Le Parlement has recorded (mainly for Accord) music by Charpentier, A. Scarlatti, Hasse, Caldara, Brossard, J. S. Bach, Carissimi, and Vivaldi.
One of their latest recordings is the anonymous St Matthew Passion (from the Uppsala manuscript). |
