My Take

What fascinates me about Duchâble is the rebellion hidden inside the prodigy. A Conservatoire de Paris first prize at thirteen, a placing at the Queen Elisabeth Competition, a Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres, and yet he eventually chose to abandon the gilded concert hall to play in mountains and by lakes. That refusal of pomp in favor of freedom reads, to me, as the act of a true artist rather than a careerist. Born in Paris in 1952, he seems to value the music over the institution around it. I admire anyone who carries a piano out of the temple and back into the world.

Overview

François-René Duchâble (born 22 April 1952, in Paris) is a French pianist. He studied at the Conservatoire de Paris, and at the age of 13 won the institution's first prize in piano. Three years later, he placed 11th at the Queen Elisabeth Music Competition in Brussels, and in 1973 won the Prix de la Fondation Sacha Schneider.
