Jean-Marc Savelli

Jean-Marc Savelli (born 18 October 1955) is a French pianist known for his interpretations of works by Franz Liszt, Frederic Chopin, Ludwig van Beethoven, the classical repertoire of Johann Sebastian Bach, and the impressionist repertoire of Claude Debussy.

Early life
Savelli was born in Mulhouse, Alsace. His mother was Marie-Louise Schreyer, and his father was Gratien Savelli. His mother came from a musical family of traveling musicians who performed in Eastern Europe, who have performed in front of the Imperial Court of Russia.

At the age of 8, Savelli was admitted to the National Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art of Mulhouse. He later studied at the National Conservatory of Music (Basel), winning a first prize award at the age of 12. After graduating from the Basel conservatory, he studied under pianist Pierre Sancan, and was admitted to the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique in Paris (CNSMD).

Career
Following a series of concerts throughout the world, Savelli momentarily stopped his career for family reasons. It was during this time that he devoted himself to the influence of music on people, primarily on those who suffer.

He embodies his research with the help of doctors, by the establishment of an emotional level, usable by anyone other than the musicians. During and after 2012, Jean Marc Savelli prepared his coming back of concerts devoted to Beethoven-Chopin-Liszt. He was expected back on the scene in 2013.

In 2013, he released an original video clip, "Corse Classique", dedicated to Beethoven, Liszt, and Chopin. This video was voted the best YouTube video about Beethoven by musicsense.org for the interpretation of the Piano Sonata No. 8 ("Pathétique").

In 2014 he released the album "Classical Recital" under the Americal label "Famous Records Corp".

He was also ranked by edu.gazeta.pl in their Top 12 Global Chopin interpreters.
