Claire Désert SCHUMANN Fantaisie - Trois Romances - Scènes de la Forêt

Claire Désert seduces her audience with her graceful, profound and humble interpretations. She is in the line-up of important French and international festivals, and she regularly performs with important symphonic orchestras.

At 14, she entered the Paris Conservatoire and graduated with a First Prize in chamber music in Jean Hubeau’s class and a unanimous First Prize in piano in Venislav Yankoff’s class.  She was recognized at an early age and the French government selected her to pursue her studies at the Moscow Tchaïkovski Conservatory, in Evgeni Malinin’s class.

Claire Désert is an exceptional artist and a World-class chamber musician. Her favorite partners are pianist Emmanuel Strosser, cellist Anne Gastinel, violonists Philippe Graffin and Tedi Papavrami, the Quatuor Sine Nomine and the Quintette Moraguès. 

Since her very first disc, Claire Désert has summoned the Schumannian rages in solo or in chamber music.

Here, with three major piano works, she portrays the soul of German Romanticism, from its dark forests to its popular romances.

This is also the whole universe of Schumann, between virtuosity, madness and fervour.
