Louis Schwizgebel

Louis Schwizgebel was born in 1987 in Geneva. He studied with Brigitte Meyer in Lausanne and Pascal Devoyon in Berlin, and then later at the Juilliard School with Emanuel Ax and Robert McDonald, and at London’s Royal Academy of Music with Pascal Nemirovski. At the age of seventeen he won the Geneva International Music Competition and, two years later, the Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York. In 2012 he won second prize at the Leeds International Piano Competition and in 2013 he became a BBC New Generation Artist.

Schwizgebel has been described as “a genuine virtuoso, a spirited young genius with real depth” (Fono Forum) and an “insightful musician” (New York Times). He is praised repeatedly for his poise, elegance, imagination, expressive lyricism and crystalline articulation. He performs regularly in recital and with the finest orchestras across the globe and has received critical acclaim for his recordings.

In solo recital and chamber music, Schwizgebel performs regularly at the major festivals and halls including most recently London’s Wigmore, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, Rheingau Festival, Klavierfest Ruhr, Lille Piano Festival and Singapore International Piano Festival and performs chamber music with Benjamin Beilman, Narek Hakhnazaryan, Renaud Capuçon and Alina Ibragimova.

 

1987年出生於日內瓦。他曾在洛桑師隨Brigitte Meyer，柏林師隨Pascal Devoyon，之後在朱利亞德學院師隨Emanuel Ax和Robert McDonald，以及在倫敦的英國皇家音樂學院(Royal Academy of Music)跟隨Pascal Nemirovski學習。17歲時，他贏得了日內瓦國際鋼琴大賽(Geneva International Music Competition) 的獎項，兩年後在紐約國際青年藝術家鋼琴大賽 (Young Concert Artists International Auditions) 中獲勝。2012年，他在英國里茲國際鋼琴大賽(Leeds International Piano Competition) 中獲得第二名，2013年成為BBC新一代藝術家 (BBC New Generation Artist)。

 

Schwizgebel被描述為「一位真正的藝術大師，一位充滿深度的充滿活力的年輕天才」（Fono 論壇）和一位「有見地的音樂家」（紐約時報）。他的沉著、優雅、想像力、富有表現力的抒情性和水晶般的清晰度一再受到稱讚。他定期參加獨奏會並與全球最優秀的管弦樂團合作演出，並因其錄音而廣受讚譽。

 

在獨奏和室內樂方面，Schwizgebel定期在各大音樂節和音樂廳演出，包括最近的倫敦威格莫爾(Wigmore)、阿姆斯特丹音樂廳、萊茵高音樂節(Rheingau Festival)、魯爾音樂節(Klavierfest Ruhr)、里爾鋼琴節(Lille Piano Festival)和新加坡國際鋼琴節(Singapore International Piano Festival)，與Benjamin Beilman、Narek Hakhnazarya、Renaud Capuçon及Alina Ibragimova等藝術家合作。
