Danielle Laval - Complete Piano Variations: Mozart (2022)

As soon as she left the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, where she obtained her First Prize unanimously, in the class of her Master Vlado Perlemuter, Danielle Laval was noticed by Arthur Rubinstein who remained taken aback by her virtuosity and her lively sensitivity.

Danielle Laval, of great artistic rigor, knows the great works of the repertoire inside out, from Saint-Saëns to Beethoven, from Chopin to Mendelssohn, from Liszt to Mozart, but she also passionately likes to discover rarer works. of renowned composers, such as Rachmaninoff, Grieg or Schubert...

If Danielle Laval is an internationally loved and respected pianist, it is obviously thanks to her playing, her legato, her sensitivity which bring out so well the works that she carefully chooses before working on and playing them, but also for his absolute respect for the public and his partners.

Whether she performs as a soloist with the Concertgebouw of Amsterdam, the Orchester du Capitole de Toulouse, the Orchester Philharmonique de Radio France, the Salzburg Chamber Orchestra, as a chamber musician with the Kocian Quartet, the Debussy Quartet, cellist Gary Hoffmann , in recital, in prestigious festivals such as that of Baalbeck, the International Chopin Meetings of Nohant or the Flâneries of Reims, Danielle knows how to share her choices and her musical emotions.

Echoing the orchestral mass, she is brought to play under the direction of great conductors such as Pierre Dervaux, Armin Jordan, Alexender Lazarev, Lawrence Foster, Alain Lombard, Pascal Verrot ... .

Danielle Laval has recorded a lot for prestigious companies, such as EMI, Universal, Naïve, Warner Classic. The result is impressive, as evidenced by his abundant discography: from the Piano Concerto by Roussel (with the Orchester de Paris) to the Symphonic Variations by Franck (with the Orchester National de Bordeaux-Aquitaine) without forgetting the complete Gradus ad Parnassum by Clementi & Variations for Piano by Mozart conducted by Greco Casadesus.

Her passion for cinema translated into music, and Danielle Laval contributed to making composers like Nino Rota (Piano Concerto) with the Ferrara Orchestra, Michel Legrand, Bernard Hermann, André Hossein and Jean Wiener better known with the 'Orchestre de Monte Carlo as well as Miklós Rózsa with the North Hungarian Symphony Orchestra; both by numerous discographic recordings and in concert.

She has recorded numerous live concertos for television with the greatest French orchestras.

Danielle Laval was appointed President of the Jury of the George Enescu Piano Competition which took place in September 2011 in Bucharest.

His meeting with Brigitte Fossey, and the complicity that arises from it, lead him to contextualize the dialogue of the arts, in the contest of the language of words to that of music.

Danielle Laval has the reputation of being an artist of great loyalty in friendship... that's right! she is faithful to her best friend, the Piano, her greatest accomplice, and the best interpreter of her emotions and her passions.

His latest recording, dedicated to the piano works of Francis Poulenc, was released on the LONTANO label.
