François Doublier studied at the same time at the university (licence ès lettres classiques and certificate of musicology at the Sorbonne) and in music (1st Prize of the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique, Grand Prix de Virtuosité of the Académie Marguerite Long). He began studying the piano at the age of 7 and his teachers included Raoul Gola, Suzanne Roche, Vlado Perlemuter and Jean Micault. After graduating from the Viotti and Pozzoli International Competitions, he met his wife Marie-Christine in Italy, with whom he decided to form a piano duo, which quickly acquired an international reputation. They toured in France, Italy, Belgium, Sweden and especially Germany. Their vast repertoire includes many works of Liszt never played before, as well as works of great contemporary composers that they most often give as first performances (Paul Arma, Georges Auric, Henri Sauguet, Georges Migot, Jacques Castérède, Olivier Messiaen, André Jolivet…). They recorded three discs: one disc “Inédits O.R.T.F.”, one disc for the firm Gasparo USA, one disc “Music for Pleasure” for the firm Pathé Marconi. The death of his wife put an abrupt end to this brilliant career. For several years, François Doublier did not give any more concerts. Recently, he successfully returned to the stage as a soloist. At that precise moment, the musical evening turned into magic. François Doublier’s piano was a Wagnerian orchestra in itself … four curtain calls and a very long final standing ovation from the spellbound audience …”. Daniel Fender, La Montagne, August 2006. Soloist of Radio France, François Doublier has recorded many CDs for COSI Music (Mozart, Rust, Chopin, Wagner, Bach…).
