Jean Muller
Pianist Jean Muller has achieved an international reputation, specializing in the music of Chopin, Liszt, Mozart, and Beethoven. He has performed complete cycles of the sonatas of the latter two composers in concert.
Muller was born in Luxembourg City on December 11, 1979. His father, Gary Muller, was a piano teacher who quickly spotted his son's talent, and Jean enrolled at the Conservatoire de Luxembourg when he was only six. That same year, he played a Chopin étude on stage, and he has been concertizing ever since. By his mid-teens, Muller was receiving an international education. At 15, he traveled to Riga, Latvia, for studies with Teofils Bikis, and later he studied in Brussels, Paris, and Munich. Among his long-term teachers were Gerhard Oppitz and Michael Schäfer, and he also took master classes from or benefited from encounters with Leon Fleisher and Anne Queffélec, among others. Muller was a prize-winner at the Tribune Internationale des Jeunes Interprètes mounted by the European Broadcasting Union in 1999, and he won several more prizes across France in 2004, including the Concours Poulenc, where he won all the available prizes by a unanimous jury vote. Muller has performed concertos with the Münchener Symphoniker, the Bayerisches Staatsorchester, the Norddeutsche Philharmonie, and, at home, the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra. As a recitalist, he has appeared at such top halls as Carnegie Hall in New York, the Salle Cortot in Paris (where he reprised his complete Mozart cycle over the 2018-2019 season), and the Shanghai Oriental Art Center.
Muller has issued a number of critically acclaimed recordings. He released a complete Beethoven sonata cycle on the Bella Musica label in 2011 and began a new Mozart cycle on Hänssler Classic in 2019. He has also recorded for Fondamenta (where his Chopin Recital album earned a Gramophone Critic's Choice nod in 2013), JCH, and Naxos, where he appeared on an album of music by composer Louise Farrenc in 2020.
