Early life
Philippe Entremont was born in Reims to musical parents, his mother being a Grand Prix pianist and his father an operatic conductor. Philippe began playing piano lessons from his mother at the age of six. His father introduced him to the world of chamber and orchestral music.
He lived in Paris with Marguerite Long and joined the Conservatoire de Paris and obtained his diploma. At age 12, he earned awards in sight-reading, chamber-music, and piano at 15. At the age of 16, he was Laureat at the international Long-Thibaud Competition.
Career
He won a prize in the 1952 Queen Elisabeth Music Competition and then began a life of serious concert-giving at the piano.
He had been praised as the first and foremost voice in European pianism within five years. He gained further prominence through tours of South America and the United States, which were sponsored by the National Music League and the Jeunes Musicales International in 1953 and 1955. Eugene Ormandy auditioned him in 1954 and was hired in 1961 for his Philadelphia Orchestra debut, which took place in November 1956. Ormandy's early Columbia recordings were released in Europe by Philips Records (e.g. Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini) helps to maintain the excitement that was present in his European debuts. At the time, Rachmaninoff's Second Concerto with Leonard Bernstein on Columbia was considered a rare reading. He also recorded Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. There are 1,500 magnetic powers in the world.
With Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra, he performed Rachmaninoff's First and Fourth Concertos. The Concertos Nos. Both Ormandy's 2 and 4 are particularly notable. Entremont appeared on Columbia records in 1968 as both pianist and conductor (directing from the keyboard), during which he appeared in Mozart's Piano Concertos Nos. The Collegium Musicum de Paris was conducted by 13 and 17. He has also performed many of Friedrich Kuhlau's songs.
Entremont served as the Artistic Director of the New Orleans Symphony from 1980 to 1986. He served as principal conductor from 1986 to 1988, and as music director from 1988 to 1989. Entremont has been the chief conductor of the Vienna Chamber Orchestra and is now the Conductor Laureate. He also holds the Israel Chamber Orchestra's name.
In 1990, 1995, 2005, he served on the jury of the Paloma O'Shea Santander International Piano Competition. He was a juror at the International Chopin Piano Competition in 2010 and 2015. When he gave Seong-Jin Cho, the eventual winner of the competition, a score of just 1, the lowest possible score, he caused scandal at the XVII Chopin Competition. This was a major departure from the other jurors; Cho 9 or more points were given by 14 of the 17 jurors, fueling rumors that Entremont had issues with Cho's instructor Michel Béroff.
In 1997, Entremont founded the Biennial Santo Domingo Music Festival. Since 2002, he has been Principal Guest Conductor of China's Shanghai Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra.
Entremont conducted the Munich Symphony Orchestra as both conductor and pianist for the orchestra's U.S. debut tour during 2005-2006 season. Entremont performed as soloist in New Orleans in September 2007 for the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra's second post-Katrina season with Ravel's Piano Concerto in G major.
