Classical

Pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard is a specialist in contemporary music and in its relationship to the traditional repertory. Emerging from the circle of Olivier Messiaen, he has focused on the music of the European avant-garde of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. In 1976, Aimard was invited by Pierre Boulez to join the new Ensemble InterContemporain as pianist. Aimard remained in that position for 18 years. His recitals have included a series called Piano in the 20th Century, and they often pair contemporary and traditional works inventively. Aimard has also appeared as a conductor. In 1996, he recorded an album of György Ligeti's piano music. In 2022, he joined pianist Tamara Stefanovich on the duo piano recital Visions, and in 2023, Aimard recorded the Bartók pianos concertos with the San Francisco Symphony and conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen. He returned in 2024 with the album Schubert: Ländler.

Pierre-Laurent Aimard has also released music as a member of Ensemble Intercontemporain.
