Lise de la Salle is a distinguished French classical pianist whose expressive technique and profound interpretations have catapulted her into the limelight of the classical music world. Born on May 8, 1988, in Cherbourg, France, de la Salle began her piano studies at the age of four and emerged as a child prodigy. She made an early debut at the age of 14 with a performance of Beethoven's Concerto No. 2 with the Avignon Orchestra, quickly garnering attention with her extraordinary talent and maturity beyond her years.

Her discography is a testament to her versatile repertoire, featuring both solo and chamber works, and showcases her affinity for the rich romantic era as well as her French heritage. Among her recent releases, "When Do We Dance?" is a tribute to George Gershwin, reimagining his rhythms and harmonies through her uniquely contemporary lens. "Paris-Moscou" reflects a blend of French and Russian musical traditions, while "Bach Unlimited" illustrates her dedication to the baroque master’s timeless oeuvre recontextualized for the modern listener. Her intimate collaborations on cello and piano arrangements, particularly from the album featuring works by Rachmaninoff, reveal her ability to delve into collaborative partnerships. De la Salle's interpretations of Rachmaninoff's works, especially the comprehensive "Piano Concertos 1-4, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini," recorded live, have been lauded for their emotional depth and technical precision. As a globe-trotting concert pianist, Lise de la Salle continues to enchant audiences worldwide with her compelling performances and artistic ingenuity.
