Vlado Perlemuter
Vlado Perlemuter (born May 26, 1904 in Kowno , today Lithuania , † September 4, 2002 in Geneva ) was a French pianist of Jewish - Polish descent. He lived in France since 1907.
Life
Perlemuter was an avid follower of Maurice Ravel and became his young friend and close artistic confidante in the late 1920s, just like Zino Francescatti for the violin. As a result, he was - and he saw himself - as the most knowledgeable and orthodox exponent of the French composer's work. But Perlemuter, who had also studied with Alfred Cortot and had financed his training by accompanying silent films , was also regarded as a great interpreter of the works of Chopin and Mozart .
From 1951 to 1977 Perlemuter taught at the Paris Conservatory . His students included well-known musicians such as Patrick O'Byrne , Michel Dalberto , Jacques Rouvier and Christian Zacharias .
