Brigitte Engerer (French: [ɑ̃gəʁɛʁ]; 27 October 1952 – 23 June 2012) was a French pianist. Engerer was born in Tunis, French Tunisia. Having started music at age five, she entered the Paris Conservatoire in the class of Lucette Descaves. She obtained in 1968, aged 15, a first prize in piano, the first named unanimously. In 1969, she won the Concours International Marguerite Long-Jacques Thibaud, following which she was invited to undertake further training at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory where she joined the class of Stanislav Neuhaus: she studied there for nine years. In 1980, her career took a decisive turn when Herbert von Karajan invited her to play with the Berlin Philharmonic. Her subsequent career was divided between giving recitals and teaching at the Paris Conservatoire. She was married to the writer Yann Queffélec, with whom she had a daughter, Leonore. She later married Xavier Fourteau, and together they had a son, Harold Fourteau. She died of cancer in Paris in 2012. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Brigitte+Engerer">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
