Jean-Frederic Neuburger

让-弗雷德里克·奈布热1986年生于巴黎，如今被认为是他这一代人中最重要的钢琴家之一。他八岁便开始学习钢琴，在艾米尔·纳姆夫的鼓励下，很快便对作曲产生了浓厚兴趣。2002年，他进入了巴黎国家高等音乐学院，开始跟随让-弗朗索瓦·埃瑟学习，并在一年后得到了学院钢琴一等奖，不久后他又得到了室内乐、伴奏及协奏一等奖。在这段日子里他也得到了来自克里斯多弗·艾森巴赫等人的艺术指导，现在他与弗拉基米尔·克莱涅夫共事。

　　让-弗雷德里克·奈布热十岁时便在法国的奥薇音乐节上举行了他的首次独奏会，随后又在德国埃廷根和达姆斯塔特举办独奏会，很快又与哥本哈根的丹麦国家广播乐团和巴登-巴登爱乐乐团合作。他是法国各地音乐节上的常客，也经常出现在波兰杜什尼基的肖邦音乐节。

　　他曾荣获大量奖项，包括欧盟青年音乐大赛的最佳欧洲青年钢琴家奖、2004年西班牙何塞·伊托比钢琴大赛头等奖，并赢得了2004年巴黎朗-蒂伯钢琴大赛和2005年伦敦国际钢琴大赛，而且他还在皇家节庆音乐厅和伦敦爱乐乐团合作演出。

　　他与听众的亲密无间（他在巴黎朗-蒂伯钢琴大赛获得的听众奖可以证明）使他在法国、西班牙、葡萄牙和德国都广受欢迎。在2005年的“贝多芬疯狂之旅”中他首次在东京登台演出。他也被公认为是一位室内乐演奏家，他熟悉的曲目涵盖了从巴洛克到现代音乐的一个宽广范围。

　　他接下来的演出包括与休·沃尔夫指挥的法国广播爱乐乐团合作的拉赫玛尼诺夫《帕格尼尼主题狂想曲》，以及在法国、西班牙、意大利、比利时的一系列独奏会。

　　2003年他16岁时发行的肖邦练习曲全集获得了评论界热烈好评，他的演绎被认为能够与波利尼、佩拉希亚等伟大钢琴家相提并论。


Born in 1986, Jean-Frédéric Neuburger showed an exceptional musical aptitude and curiosity very early. Having begun studying the piano with Claude Maillols at a young age, he also developed a passion for the organ and, encouraged by Emile Naoumoff and Jean-Fran?ois Zygel, composition. Deciding to focus on the piano, he entered the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris in 2000, where he received highest honours in piano, accompaniment, and chamber music in the classes of Jean-Fran?ois Heisser, Jean Koerner, Itamar Golan, Christian Ivaldi and Marie-Fran?oise Bucquet.

Since being recognized by the Académie Maurice Ravel at the age of 15, he has been the laureate of numerous international competitions, including four prizes at the 2004 Long-Thibaud competition and won the 2006 Young Concert Artists International Auditions held in New York. Under the YCA auspices, he made his USA debuts in December 2006, including recitals at the Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall, New York and at the John F.Kennedy Center, Washington DC, receiving great public and critical acclaim.

Even more than these outstanding achievements, it is for his personality and extraordinary musical maturity that Jean-Frédéric Neuburger is much sought-after as recitalist, having already performed at such prestigious events as the Festivals of Auvers sur Oise, Radio-France-Montpellier, La Roque d’Anthéron Piano Festival, Menton, l’Orangerie de Sceaux, Chopin á Bagatelle Festival, les Folles journées de Nantes, Lisbonne and Tokyo. He has also given recitals at the Auditorium du Louvre, Auditorium du Musée d’Orsay, Théatre des Bouffes du Nord, the Chopin Festival at Duznicki and the Chopin-Gesellschaft at Darmstadt. In November 2007, he will give his debut recital at Suntory Hall, Tokyo.

As soloist, he has appeared with the Baden-Baden Philharmonic, Danish National Orchestra, Orchestre National de Montpellier, the London Philharmonic and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France. In 2006, he made two important debuts: the first in Shanghai with the Shanghai Philharmonic, playing Shostakovitch’s Concerto n° 2 and the second, his Tokyo concerto debut with the New York Philharmonic under Lorin Maazel, playing Beethoven’s Concerto n° 3. In May 2007, he will play Liszt Concerto n° 1 for the re-opening season of Paris prestigious Salle Pleyel before returning to America for summer festivals and journeying to Japan with Orchestre national de Lyon to perform Ravel’s Concerto in G on their countrywide tour. He is invited to play with London Philharmonic Orchestra and Orchestre Philharmonique de Liège during the 2008 season.

Devoted to perfecting his art, Jean-Frédéric Neuburger currently studies with Reiko Hozu and Vladimir Krainev and is, above all, dedicated to discovering new repertoire - whether for solo piano or chamber music - from Bach to contemporary composers.

In 2003, at the age of 16, he recorded the complete Chopin Etudes for the ? Disc’Auvers ? collection, a version that has already been compared to those by the great masters, and which immediately placed him among the foremost pianists of today. A double CD with one disc dedicated to Chopin and the other featuring a live recital was released in March 2006, and Jean-Frédéric’s recording of the complete Czerny “The Art of Finger Dexterity” has just been released on the Mirare record label.
