Nadia Boulanger’s final student, Emile Naoumoff composed his first piano concerto at the age of nine; he performed it the following year under the direction of Yehudi Menuhin. His rise as a concert performer was meteoric and thrust him onto the international scene. For the past twenty years, he has been teaching at the prestigious Indiana University Jacobs School of Music in Bloomington, whose alumni include some of the world’s most successful musicians. This interview of Emile Naoumoff by Nathalie Guilbaud was recorded at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris on January 24, 2020.
The DVD is accompanied by a booklet with testimonials by some of Emile Naoumoff’s former students, who evoke their experiences with this exceptional artist and teacher.
