Eric Heidsieck - Mozart: Piano Sonatas K. 280, 282, 283, 457 & 545 (2017)

The French pianist, Éric Heidsieck, gave his first recital at the age of 9 in Reims and his first concert with orchestra a year later. In 1954, he finished the class of Marcel Ciampi in the first place; then took his first lessons with Alfred Cortot at l'Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris. Parallel to that, he attended the courses of Wilhelm Kempff on L.v. Beethoven in Positano.

From 1980 to 1998, Éric Heidsieck was a professor at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique (CNSM) of Lyon. During this period he wrote an essay on the differentiation of the musical signs in the romantic music which will clarify one day new the concept of interpretation. Since 2004, he teaches at Schola Cantorum. He has taken part in the jury of the most prestigious piano competitions, and has given master-classes specifically on L.v. Beethoven in four continents of the world.
