My Take

Brigitte Engerer commands instant respect from me. A French pianist born in Tunis in 1952, she gathered an extraordinary set of honours, the Legion of Honour and the National Order of Merit among them, which is not the trail of a flash in the pan but proof of decades of genuine excellence. What moves me most is that she was also a music educator. The artists I admire are the ones who do not just perform but hand the craft down, and she clearly did both. She died too young in 2012 at 59, yet the recordings remain and the students she shaped carry her sound forward. I can only bow quietly to a life given to the keyboard.
