Pascal was voted "Solo Instrumental Discovery of the Year", and studied with Georges Cziffra. Here he answers questions about music and the piano...

1. What made you choose a career in music?

At first, I almost became a doctor.

But music was too important in my life.

He is the author of Si la musique t'était contée (published by bleu nuit), and produced a series of broadcasts on France Culture entitled “A history of music”.

When a pupil asked the poet Rilke if he thought that he could become a poet, he answered "yes" as far as the pupil felt that he couldn't not be one.

2. Who are your favorite composers, and why?

Mahler at first.

A unique harmonious invention and a capacity to be granted no limits in language, nor at the same time to give nothing up.

Then, the composers-pianists Liszt, Scriabin and Chopin, to whom I dedicated several recordings (Complete Chopin Nocturnes, Complete Poems by Scriabin...)
