Claude Helffer, né le 28 juin 1922 à Paris, fait partie de ces interprètes d'exception qui accompagnent et suscitent la création, témoins actifs d'une époque et médiateurs privilégiés entre les compositeurs et le public. Élève de Robert Casadesus (pour le piano) et de René Leibowitz (pour l'écriture), diplômé de l'École Polytechnique, engagé dans les combats de son temps comme dans les différents mouvements de la création musicale, Claude Helffer a mené une grande carrière de soliste, sans négliger les ensembles de musique contemporaine (il participa à l'aventure du Domaine Musical dès ses débuts) ni la musique de chambre. Il a créé un grand nombre d'œuvres, certaines ayant été composées à son intention, et il est devenu l'interprète de prédilection de certains compositeurs comme Boulez ou Xenakis. Il retrace ici sa trajectoire, livrant ses convictions et ses souvenirs, développant sa conception de l'enseignement, parlant des compositeurs qu'il a fréquentés, racontant son travail avec des chefs illustres. C'est à la fois le portrait d'un musicien inspiré, passionné, généreux, et celui d'une époque foisonnante qu'il a marquée de sa personnalité.

In Search of Alberto Guerrero is the first full biography of the influential Chilean-Canadian pianist and teacher (1886-1959), describing Guerrero's long career as virtuoso recitalist, chamber music collaborator, concerto soloist, and teacher. Written by composer John Beckwith, who was a student of Guerrero, the book blends research and memoir to piece together the life of a man who once insisted he had no story. Guerrero was part of the intellectual scene that introduced Chileans to Debussy, Ravel, Cyril Scott, Scriabin, and Schoenberg. He and his brother played an active

In several decades as a distinguished classical pianist, Susan Tomes has found that there are some issues which never go away. Here she takes up various topics of perennial interest: how music awakens and even creates memories, what 'interpretation' really means, what effect daily practice has on the character, whether playing from memory is a burden or a liberation, and why the piano is the right tool for the job. She pays homage to the influence of remarkable teachers, asks what it takes for long-term chamber groups to survive the strains of professional life, and explores the link between music and health. Once again, her aim is to provide insight into the motives and experiences of classical performers. In this fourth book she also describes some of the challenges facing classical musicians in today's society, and considers why this kind of long-form music means so much to those who love it. SUSAN TOMES has won a number of international awards as a performer and recording artist, and in 2013 was awarded the Cobbett Medal for distinguished services to chamber music. For fifteen years she was the pianist of Domus, and for seventeen years she was the pianist of the Florestan Trio, one of the world's leading piano trios. She is the author of three previous books: Beyond the Notes (2004) and Out of Silence (2010), both published by Boydell, and A Musician's Alphabet (2006). She gives masterclasses, writes and presents radio programmes on music, and sits on international competition juries. Her blog on www.susantomes.com has a loyal following.
