Biography

Francis Planté (1839–1934) was among the earliest pianists to bring the Romantic repertoire to life with poetic nuance. His interpretations of Chopin, Liszt, and other masters were celebrated for their sincerity, flexibility, and the gentle authority with which he shaped every phrase.

Celebrated by generations of pianists, Planté left a legacy of recordings and recollections that still inspire musicians, and his resting place at Mont-De-Marsan Communal Cemeter allows admirers to honor a lifetime spent at the keyboard.
