SUMMARY:Jean-Philippe Collard\, piano
DESCRIPTION:In a programme of Chopin: 24 Préludes Op. 28\; Fauré: Ballade
  in F sharp major Op. 19 and Granados: From Goyescas - Coloquio en la reja
 \, El Fandango de Candil\, Quejas o la maja y el ruisenor\, Los requiebros
 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne might say that music hovered like a fairy godmot
 her over Jean-Philippe Collard’s cradle. Raised in a large\, music-lovin
 g household\, the little boy from the Champagne region was quick to fall u
 nder the spell of the magical ritual of chamber music in the family circle
 . So much so that\, at the age of ten\, he left his home town to go up to 
 the capital\, without fully realising what awaited him there: the Conserva
 toire National Supérieur de Paris\, the international competition circuit
 \, eight years of study under the enlightened yet demanding tutelage of Pi
 erre Sancan\, before being propelled to the forefront of the international
  scene ...\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut the French pianist is not the kind of 
 person to thrust his diplomas and his patrons under your nose as evidence 
 of his talent: at most he will make no more than passing mention of the fi
 rm friendship that bound him to Horowitz in those crucial years when one
 ’s artistic maturity is forged. It is to the Maestro that he owes the se
 cret of the deep-seated\, sustained melody that makes him a virtuoso of su
 bdued lyricism\, with a vibrant\, warmly confidential tone.\n\nNowadays\, 
 with a discography of more than fifty titles under his belt\, Jean-Philipp
 e Collard is a regular visitor to the foremost musical venues of the old c
 ontinent and the other side of the Atlantic – from Carnegie Hall to the 
 Teatro Colón by way of the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées and the Royal A
 lbert Hall. A well-known figure to the French public\, a great favourite w
 ith audiences in the United States\, he could boast of having played with 
 the top conductors and orchestras all over the world.\n\nYet the bright li
 ghts don’t seem to have dazzled this eminent pianist. Still as unaffecte
 d as ever\, direct and jovial\, he’s more likely to talk of his private 
 happiness than his public successes: a fulfilling family life alongside hi
 s wife and five children\, with close and loyal friendships… A nature lo
 ver\, a do-it-yourself enthusiast in his spare time\, this gentleman piani
 st cultivates more than one secret garden.\n\n
