Jean-Marc Luisada
Biography
Pianist Jean-Marc Luisada is known as a Chopin specialist but has recorded music from Beethoven to the 20th century. He is also an enthusiastic chamber musician and a significant educator. By the time he reached his 30th birthday, Luisada had toured in Europe, the U.S., and Asia. He issued a 1998 recording of the little-known chamber version of Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor, Op. 11, with the Talich Quartet, and he became internationally successful. Chopin has been heavily represented in his recording catalog, but he has by no means restricted himself to that composer; he has devoted albums to composers ranging from Beethoven to Poulenc. In 2023, he released Au cinéma ce soir, an album of works used in classic films from the 1950s to the '70s.
