Info for Muses - Franz Liszt

This album reveals the multiple facets of love according to Liszt - carnal, spiritual and divine all at once - from the prophetic masterpieces of his youth to the vast canvases of maturity. Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude and the Sonata in B minor mark his crowning achievement, anticipating the piano music of the modern era. Tanguy de Williencourt displays all the ardour and faith these remarkable works call for.

Tanguy de Williencourt, piano

Tanguy de Williencourt
has received the highest accolades from the press in his native country: ‘a complete musician’ (Michel Le Naour, Concertclassic), ‘pianistic authority and rich colours’ (Alain Cochard) while La Croix predicted him to become one of the ‘future greats of the piano’.

Tanguy has since pursued a very active career, both in France and abroad: Philharmonie de Paris, Auditorium de Radio France, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Musée d’Orsay, Collège des Bernardins, Opéra de Lille, Auditorium de Bordeaux, Grand Théâtre de Provence, St-Petersburg Philharmonie, Berlin Philharmonie, Bonn Opera, Palazetto Bru-Zane, Sala Sao Paulo, and festivals such as Yehudi Menuhin in Gstaad, Chopin in Nohant, Radio France in Montpellier, Pablo Casals in Prades, La Chaise-Dieu, Chorégies in Orange, Abbaye de Royaumont, La Folle Journée in Nantes, Tokyo, Ekaterinburg and Warsaw, Lille Piano Festival, La Roque d’Anthéron and Victoires de la Musique on French television.

Tanguy de Williencourt records extensively: his newest CD for Mirare includes both solo and orchestral works by César Franck (“CHOC” Classica) after the complete piano transcriptions by Wagner/Liszt and all of Beethoven’s Bagatelles, all released to great critical acclaim. Tanguy de Williencourt will soon record his fourth CD together with cellist Bruno Philippe for harmonia mundi, a label for which he has also worked on a Berlioz album with mezzo-soprano Stéphanie d’Oustrac and was the featured pianist of CD ‘Debussy: the late works’, which received the BBC Music Magazine Award and the Gramophone Award in 2019. The latest one, a collaborative CD ‘Proust’, recorded with violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte, was one of Gramophone’s CDs of the year in 2021. He performed with Renée Fleming in a film shot at the Théâtre du Châtelet, which was shown worldwide in IMAX cinemas in 2022.

After graduating from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris in piano, chamber music, accompaniment and vocal coaching, Tanguy de Williencourt had the privilege to work closely with Maria João Pires, Christoph Eschenbach, Stephen Kovacevich and Paul Badura-Skoda and has been supported by both the Blüthner and Banque Populaire Foundations. He also received a collection of Prizes: Société des Arts de Genève, ADAMI (Classical révélation 2016), SPEDIDAM and Play-Direct competition at the Philharmonie de Paris in 2017.

Tanguy de Williencourt teaches piano at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris since 2021 and has been appointed as vocal coach by Gustavo Dudamel at Opera de Paris in 2022.
