Lise de la Salle

A career of already over 20 years, award-winning Naïve recordings, international concert appearances – Lise de la Salle has established herself as one of today's exciting young artists and as a musician of real sensibility and maturity. Her playing inspired a Washington Post critic: “For much of the concert, the audience had to remember to breathe... the exhilaration didn’t let up for a second until her hands came off the keyboard.”
In the 24/25 season, she will make her debut with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and return to the NHK Symphony Orchestra. Recent major events include the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées with the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, her return with the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra, the Stuttgarter Philharmoniker and the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra; as well as recitals at the Shanghai Concert Hall, Sydney City Recital Hall and La Seine Musicale (Paris).
Among her critically acclaimed Naïve CDs: Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 with Fabio Luisi and the Staatskapelle Dresden; her tribute to Liszt (2011) received a Diapason d'Or and Gramophone's Editor's Choice. Her latest album, When do we Dance? (2021): an odyssey of dances through a whole century.
In 2004, Lise de la Salle won the Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York. She started the piano at age 4 and gave her first concert 5 years later in a live broadcast on Radio France. She studied at the Paris Conservatoire and has worked with Pascal Nemirovski and Geneviève Joy-Dutilleux.
