Pianist, composer, trained in law: a performer for whom playing is first of all a way of thinking.
Andreï Korobeinikov combines an almost intellectual rigour with an intensity that goes beyond it. Trained in Moscow and then London, he made his mark very early with a singular reading of Scriabin and Shostakovich, crowned with a Diapason d’Or, before joining the great halls of Europe and Asia. In his playing, analysis and impulse move together: he lets you hear what a work thinks, not only what it says.
“Quite simply, the perfect pianist.” France Musique
“A true bodybuilder of the piano, making the instrument roar like an engine.” Le Monde
“He lifts melodies from within, like a champion weight-lifter.” Le Figaro
“A UFO, an extraordinary musician who is also a great intellectual.” Télérama (translated)
Presidential elections: what possible futures for France?
Sold outForesight is not the art of predicting, but of making the future thinkable. Jacques Attali has made it one of his disciplines. A few months before the presidential election, he lays out before us the possible futures of France: what makes them likely, what they mean for the economy, society, Europe and the world, and what history always keeps of the unforeseeable.
Andreï Korobeinikov opens the evening at the piano; the conversation continues over a drink.
A graduate of the École polytechnique and the ENA, Jacques Attali spent ten years as special adviser to François Mitterrand before founding and presiding over the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. An economist and writer, the author of more than eighty books, essays, novels and biographies, he has never ceased to question the long course of time, from A Brief History of the Future to his work on French growth.
He is also a conductor: a way, perhaps, of recalling that thinking about the future is a matter of listening as much as of calculation.
