Maria Belooussova was a Russian pianist. She lived and worked in Paris.
Belooussova was born in Yekaterinburg and studied music there. She joined the Russian Musical Academy in Moscow, in the class of Vladimir Tropp. [1] In 1992, she joined the National Conservatory of Music in Paris, in the class of Christian Ivaldi. From 1999, Belooussova taught chamber music at the Conservatoire de Paris. [2] She died from cancer on May 30, 2018.
Belooussova was mainly interested in the chamber music repertoire. She played with many personalities including Ivry Gitlis, Bernard Greenhouse, Joseph Silverstein, Jean-Jacques Kantorow, Wolfgang Holzmair and Michel Strauss. She was also very attached to the contemporary music repertoire with the composers Krzysztof Penderecki, Sofia Goubaïdoulina, Philippe Hersant or Thierry Escaich. [3] [4]
In 1999, she joined the musical ensemble Musique Oblique composed of violinists Frédéric Laroque, Martial Gauthier and Daniel Vagner, cellist Diana Ligeti and clarinettist Rémi Lerner, with whom she recorded various albums. [4] [5] [6]

Louise Farrenc was a French composer, virtuoso pianist and teacher of the Romantic period. Her compositions include three symphonies, a few choral works, numerous chamber pieces and a wide variety of piano music.
"Ave Maria" is a popular and much-recorded setting of the Latin prayer Ave Maria, originally published in 1853 as "Méditation sur le Premier Prélude de Piano de S. Bach". The piece consists of a melody by the French Romantic composer Charles Gounod that he superimposed over an only very slightly changed version of Bach's Prelude No. 1 in C major, BWV 846, from Book I of his The Well-Tempered Clavier, 1722. The 1853 publication has French text, but it is the 1859 version with the Latin Ave Maria which became popular.
Lars Vogt was a German classical pianist, conductor and academic teacher. Noted by The New York Times for his interpretations of Brahms, Vogt performed as a soloist with major orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic. He was the music director of the Orchestre de chambre de Paris at the time of his death and also served as the music director of the Royal Northern Sinfonia. He ran a festival of chamber music, Spannungen, from 1998, and succeeded his teacher Karl-Heinz Kämmerling as professor of piano at the Musikhochschule Hannover.
