At the age of 15, Swiss pianist Romain Nosbaum debuted for the first time with Beethoven's third piano concerto. Since then he has been one of the most sought-after pianists in the French-speaking area of Switzerland and has recorded albums of various repertoires. His new release Encores includes works by Poulenc, Glass, Debussy, Takemitsu and others. Romain Nosbaum is an individualist among the pianists of his generation. Without airs and graces, but with modesty and passionate devotion, he is solely focused on music. Both the grand gesture and sheer brilliancy have no meaning to him – instead, his playing stands out through intelligence, subtle individuality and technical perfection. The subtlety and immediacy of his pianistics encourage Romain’s repertoire, which focuses on the romantic piano literature as well as music of contemporary composers. A universal interest in ‘tradition and innovation’ expresses itself not only soloistically, but also through his activities as a passionate chamber musician. Thus, he regularly performs as a vocal accompanist with artists such as his sister Véronique. He is also a member of the Random Trio, which comes with the colorful instrumentation of flute, violoncello, and piano.
