Biography
Contemporary classical pianist Ãric Le Sage was born on June 15, 1964, in Aix-en-Provence, France. He is best known for a repertoire that focuses on romantic music including the works of Schumann, Fauré, and the complete works of Poulenc. Ãric Le Sage completed his studies at the Conservatoire de Paris before traveling to London, England to study under Italian pianist Maria Curcio. He participated in several international competitions, winning first prize at the Porto International Piano Competition (1985), the Robert Schumann International Competition for Pianists and Singers in Zwickau, Germany (1989), and the 3rd Prize at Leeds Competition (1990). In 1995, Ãric Le Sage co-founded the chamber music festival Musique à l'Empéri in Salon-de-Provence â retitled the Salon Festival in 1996 â and has remained the artistic director ever since. He began building his recorded legacy with the release of albums such as Le Temps et la Musique (1991), Schubert: Introduction & Variations D. 802 · Sonate D. 821 · Sonatine D. 385 (1994), Märchenbilder (Schumann Clarinet Works) (1994), and Poulenc: Intégrale Musique de Chambre (Complete Chamber Music) (1999). His most ambitious recording project began in 2006 when he released An Clara (Klavierwerke & Kammermusik 1), the first of ten volumes devoted to the piano and chamber music of composer Robert Schumann. His repertoire began to incorporate contemporary works by composers such as Escaich, Walksman, Pécou, and El-Khoury. He also focused on a series of recordings spotlighting the works of Fauré: Quintettes avec Piano (2012), Sonatas 1 & 2, Lullaby, Romance, Andante... (2013), and Duos et Trios avec Piano (2013). Subsequent releases include his appearance on the Vienne 1900 collection (2020), Mozart: Piano Concertos No. 24 & 17 (2022), and Jardins Suspendus, which featured compositions by Hahn, Lili and Nadia Boulanger, Saint-Saëns, Honegger, and Franck.
