    Both a pianist and composer, Yves Henry was trained at the Paris Conservatoire
    in the 1970s-80s, where he studied with Pierre Sancan and took courses in
    chamber music, accompaniment and choral direction as well as classes in writing,
    obtaining a total of seven premiers prix by the age of 22.

    The same year, after having worked with Aldo Ciccolini for three years, he won
    First Grand Prize at the Robert Schumann International Competition in Zwickau.
    He is now recognized as one of the specialists in the interpretation of Chopin and
    Liszt, in particular owing to his experience with instruments from the Romantic era.

    Professor at the Paris Conservatory and the Conservatoire Rayonnement


    Rgional in Paris, member of the program committee of the Chopin Institute in
    Warsaw on the occasion of the Chopin Bicentennial in 2010, and honorary
    member of the Japanese Piano Teachers Association, Yves Henry gives
    numerous recitals the world over, primarily devoted to composers of the Romantic
    era. He is regularly invited to give master classes at universities in the USA, Japan
    and China. In addition, he sits on juries of important international competitions
    (Monte-Carlo Piano Masters, Dvok Piano Competition in Nelahozeves, Robert
    Schumann International Piano Competition in Zwickau, International Frdric
    Chopin Competition in Warsaw).
    He also devotes himself felicitously to chamber music alongside his violinist
    brother and various partners (Michel Portal, Karl Leister, Ivry Gitlis, Brigitte
    Engerer, Augustin Dumay, Gary Hoffman, soloists of the Orchestre de Paris,
    Michel Lethiec, the Elyses and Modigliani quartets) and is at the origin of
    several productions combining literature and music with actresses Marie-Christine
    Barrault and Brigitte Fossey.

    In addition to his activities as a performer and teacher, he has composed several


    works inspired by texts of the Corsican poet Andr Giovanni (Les Chants
    Tyrrhniens, Les Sentiers drobs) along with chamber music pieces (Kaga
    Yusen for violin and piano, Suite Vnitienne for flute, cello and piano, Il soplo
    ligero for clarinet and piano). He recently composed a nocturne for orchestra that
    was first performed in Paris and Germany in 2014. He has also made
    transcriptions for concert performance of works including Paul Dukas' Sorcerer's
    Apprentice, Maurice Ravel's La Valse, and Borodin's Polovtsian Dances from
    Prince Igor, which was the subject of a CD released in 2015.

    In January 2010, he was promoted to the rank of Officer in the Order of Arts and
    Letters by Frdric Mitterrand, Minister of Culture, he received the Gloria Artis
    award from the Polish government for his contribution to the Chopin Year in
    France, and was one of the personalities to be included in the 2010 Whos Who in
    France. In January 2011, he succeeded Alain Duault as President of the Nohant
    Chopin Festival.

    Discography: from 2006 to 2009, Yves Henry has recorded, in 4 CDs, the
    complete works that Chopin composed or finished in Nohant (CD-book Les ts
    de Frdric Chopin Nohant, ditions du Patrimoine, 2010). In 2011, he released
    a Liszt recital. In May 2014, he released a 2-CD set devoted to the reconstitution
    of Chopin's last concert in Paris ('Choix France Musique) recorded with an 1837
    Pleyel piano at Chaumet jewellers, 12 Place Vendme, the very site of Chopin's
    death in October 1849. In 2015, he released a double-CD set (Liszt/Schumann/
    Chopin). This recording is the fruit of a double confrontation: on the one hand,
    between Schumann, Chopin and Liszt, three giants of the Romantic generation
    who dedicated piano works to each other; and on the other, two piano builders,
    Pleyel and Erard who, at the same period, were exploring completely opposite
    aesthetic and technical paths. The relations between Schumann, Chopin and Liszt
    are discussed by Doctor Thomas Synofzik, Director of the Robert-Schumann-
    Haus in Zwickau.

    Yves Henry was the first to record, on CD and DVD, Chopin's 24 Preludes, Op.28
    in two versions: one on an 1837 Pleyel, the other on a modern concert piano
    (Editions Lancosme Multimedia. Concert recorded at Salle Pleyel in Paris).
