Biography

[edit]

At the age of 16 he began studies at the Conservatoire de Paris under Dominique Merlet and Marcel Ciampi (piano) and Geneviève Joy-Dutilleux (chamber music). He has also studied with Nikita Magaloff and Paul Badura-Skoda.

In 1985, he won fifth prize at the XI International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw.

At 29 he had performed in Europe, the United States, and Asia[1] and was known as a performer of "outstanding brilliance".[2]

Luisada signed an exclusive agreement with RCA Red Seal in 1998.[3] Among his recordings are the waltzes and mazurkas of Chopin[4] and the infrequently-heard chamber version of the first Chopin piano concerto, recorded with the Talich Quartet.

Luisada is on the faculty of École Normale de Musique de Paris-Alfred Cortot.[3] Luisada calls himself a human being of the 19th century and often mentions his love for the past and history in his music.[5]
