  • Daniel Guilet (1899-1990) was a French, and later, American, classical violinist, best known for founding the Beaux Arts Trio. He was born at Rostov-on-Don, in the Russian Empire, January 10, 1899, and raised in Paris. His teachers at the Conservatoire de Paris included Georges Enesco and Guillaume Remy. He played in the Calvet String Quartet and as a soloist, and toured France with Maurice Ravel playing his accompaniments. He immigrated in 1941, in his forties, to the U.S. , and organized, the next year, a string quartet bearing his own surname. In 1944, he joined the NBC Symphony Orchestra, under conductor Arturo Toscanini; Guilet became concertmaster in 1951, and continued in that position in 1954 when Toscanini retired and the orchestra was renamed the Symphony of the Air. Also in 1954, he invited cellist Bernard Greenhouse to join him and Menahem Pressler, with whom Guilet had previously made recordings, in playing informally -- supposedly, as Greenhouse put it 25 years later, just "to play some Mozart". As it turned out, they named their group the Beaux Arts Trio, and began playing in public at Tanglewood in 1955. The ensemble built an international reputation, and (at the time of his death 45 years later, and 30 after his retirement) the New York Times described it as still the "most prominent trio" in chamber music, anywhere. Guilet retired from performing in 1969, after which he taught at Indiana University, the Manhattan School of Music, the Royal Conservatory of Music in Montreal, Oklahoma University and Baylor University. He died following a cerebral hemorrhage on October 14, 1990, at the age of 91.

В Парижской консерватории он учился у Джордже Энеску и Гийома Реми. Начиная с 1920-х гг. концертировал как солист, в том числе в ансамбле с Морисом Равелем, однако наибольшую известность получил как вторая скрипка Квартета Кальве: с приходом Гилевича состав под руководством Жозефа Кальве занял ведущее положение во французском квартетном исполнительстве. В 1940 г. квартет был распущен, а в 1941 г. Гиле эмигрировал в США, где основал собственный Квартет Гиле. Одновременно в 1942 г. он поступил в Симфонический оркестр NBC, а в 1951 г. стал его концертмейстером, сохранив этот пост и после преобразования оркестра в «Symphony of the Air» в 1954 г. Однако высшим достижением Гиле в его американский период стало создание в 1955 гг. Beaux Arts Trio, в составе которого он играл до 1969 г. , — этот коллектив считался одним из наиболее ярких инструментальных ансамблей США.
