PAUL LOYONNET - PIANIST |
|
Autographed 5” x 7” recital program by the French pianist, Montevideo, 5 August, 1947. Loyonnet plays works by Bach, Couperin, Rameau, Scarlatti, Handel, Beethoven, Chopin, Fauré, Debussy and Liszt. Loyonnet (1889-1988) at the time of his death in Montreal, 1988, was one of the true last French romantics of the keyboard. His teachers were Charles de Beriot (pupil of Thalberg), Marius Sieveking (pupil of Liszt), and Isidor Philipp (Pupil of Georges Mathias). His Parisian career began in 1906 and he played over two thousand concerts throughout Europe from 1918 through 1932 both as recitalist, soloist and in pair with other solo instrumentalists, as well as chamber works. He retired to North Africa in 1932 and did not re-emerge until 1946, after the War. He then embarked on a World tour, playing in Countries of his choosing, France, Portugal, Spain, Africa, South America, Canada and the United States. After taking the U.S. by storm, he travelled to Canada, where he made an equally impressive outing. During his next North American tour in 1953, he settled in Montreal. His major pupils include: Gisèle Daoust, Albert Dessane (Paris), Pierre Jasmin, Jean Leduc, Alain Lefèvre, and Boris Roubakine.
