Philippe Entremont is a renowned French pianist and conductor whose illustrious career has made a significant mark on the classical music world. Born on June 7, 1934, in Reims, he quickly displayed prodigious talents, taking to the keyboard under the tutelage of his pianist parents. By the tender age of 12, Entremont had already won his first prize at the Paris Conservatory, setting him on a trajectory toward international fame.

Entremont's discography is a testament to his artistic versatility and his profound affinity for Romantic and early 20th-century French repertoire. His extensive recording catalogue includes critically acclaimed albums such as "Schumann, Liszt & Brahms: Piano Works" and "Philippe Entremont Plays Liszt Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 and Rachmaninov Concerto No. 2 in C Minor Op. 18," showcasing his expressive nuances and technical prowess. A hallmark of his more recent work involves exploring the depth and breadth of French music, including live performance series such as "19th Century and 20th Century French Music with Flute," which includes world premiere recordings. His interpretive brilliance extends to the works of Chopin, demonstrated by remastered collections like "Entremont Plays Chopin - The Favorite Polonaises" and "Entremont Plays the Four Chopin Ballades." Beyond his achievements as a pianist, Entremont has also embraced the role of conductor, leading ensembles with the same passion and precision that have defined his playing career.
