Biography

French pianist and composer. In 1908, at age 69, he became one of the oldest pianists to ever have his work recorded. Plante made his debut in Paris when he was nine years old. A musical prodigy, he studied under the tutelage of Antoine Marmontel at the Conservatoire in 1849, and after only seven months there, he won the first prize for piano in 1850. A protégé of Liszt and Rossini, he played in many salons around Paris, but from 1861-72, he made no public appearances while he studied and refined his piano technique. Upon his return to the stage, he was acclaimed as a virtuoso. He gave concerts regularly until 1900, after which he made no public appearances except for rare performances at charity concerts for the next eight years.

Married, his wife died in 1908.

Plante died 12/19/1934, St.-Avit, France.
