About
Described by the newspaper Le Monde as "the most unique pianist of her generation," Vanessa Wagner leads a career in her own image: demanding, original, and committed. Her playing, rich in timbres and colors, allows her to explore multiple aesthetics. Throughout her many experiences and collaborations, she charts a very personal path, ranging from classical recitals to contemporary creation, and projects with choreographers, visual artists, or musicians from different backgrounds. Deeply invested in the music of her time, she is the dedicatee of several works by Pascal Dusapin, François Meimoun, Amy Crankshaw, Alex Nante, and more.
Her recent recording dedicated to the complete Études by Philip Glass has been met with unanimous and resounding international success (Télérama TTTT, Diapason d’Or, Le Monde, Libération, etc.)
