Biography
Born in Paris on June 13, 1974, Claire-Marie Le Guay began playing the piano at the age of four, and went on to study with Bruno Rigutto and Jacques Rouvier at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris. Graduating with a first prize in piano and chamber music in 1991, she took further lessons with Leon Fleisher, György Sebök and Dmitri Bachkirov. Successes at piano competitions in Portogruaro, Italy (1990), Marseille and Barcelona (1994), followed by third place at the ARD Prize in Munich (1995), led to an international concert career. In addition to these successes, she was awarded the Prix de la Fondation Yehudi Menuhin and the Fondation du Crédit National, while her first recordings were released: Liszt: 12 Ãtudes d'exécution transcendante (1995) and Schumann: Kreisleriana - Carnaval (1997). Winner of a Victoire de la musique classique in 1998, Claire-Marie Le Guay has extended her repertoire to all eras, including the contemporary realm, as her discography attests: Dutilleux - Bartók - Carter (2000), Stravinsky - Ravel (2000), Escaich : Confluence (2003), the three-volume Haydn - Mozart cycle (2006-2009), Gubaïdulina: Portrait (2009), the Voyage en Russie recital (2012), Bach (2015), Schubert: Wanderer (2018) and a series of albums devoted to Liszt: Concertos & Légendes with Louis Langrée (2003), Vertiges (2011), Sonate en si mineur (2015) and Joies de l'Ãme (2021). In 2026, she returns to Bach with the recital Ãcouter la lumière, released in conjunction with the book Que la joie demeure: vivre avec Bach, written in collaboration with Erik Orsenna.
