Pianist Adam Laloum has combined charisma and interpretive independence in his growing career. A virtuoso soloist, he is also a noted chamber player. In 2009, Laloum won the Clara Haskil Competition, which led to a contract with the Mirare label and to an album of Brahms piano pieces in 2011. From 2012 to 2019, he was part of the piano trio Les Esprits, with violinist Mi-Sa Yang and cellist Victor Julien-Laferrière. A follow-up album featuring works by Schumann appeared in 2013 to critical acclaim. Laloum joined with clarinetist Raphaël Sévère for an album of Brahms works in 2014, and with Julien-Laferrière for cello sonatas by Brahms, Franck, and Debussy two years later. In 2020, he issued an album of Schubert piano sonatas, following that up with a new Brahms album in 2021.
