Martine Joste

Martine Joste is a French pianist celebrated for bringing avant-garde and experimental piano works to life with remarkable precision and passion. Specializing in 20th- and 21st-century repertoire, she’s become a go-to interpreter for boundary-pushing composers like John Cage, Ivan Wyschnegradsky, and Sylvano Bussotti, whose microtonal and unconventional pieces she masterfully navigates. Her recordings, including multi-volume projects like *Cage: The Works for Piano* and *The Number Pieces*, showcase her dedication to preserving and popularizing complex, often overlooked works. Whether tackling Julián Carrillo’s mind-bending 1/16-tone experiments or Alain Bancquart’s labyrinthine compositions, Joste balances technical rigor with emotional depth, making even the most challenging music feel approachable. Her work not only honors these innovators but also invites listeners to rethink what the piano can do.
