[English]<\/span> Pianist Jeffrey Grice was born in Christchurch, New Zealand. A student of Janetta McStay and Bryan Sayer at Auckland University (Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music), in 1976 he was awarded a Queen Elisabeth Arts Council grant and a French government bursary to study in France with Yvonne Loriod and Germaine Mounier, obtaining in 1978 a Licence de Concert from the Ecole Normale Superieure de Musique de Paris. In 1979, he moved to Israel for a year to consolidate repertoire with Enrique Barenboim. Other formative influence was to come from the guidance of American pianist Charles Rosen and the coaching of Argentinian-born pianist Florencia Raitzin-Legrand,
\nA Laureate of the Yehudi Menuhin Foundation, the Cziffra Foundation, and the Sophia- Antipolis Foundation, in 1999, Jeffrey Grice was made an \u201cOfficer of Arts and Letters\u201d (Officier des Arts et des Lettres) by the French Government for services in the field of music.
\nJeffrey Grice has recorded in Europe for the labels Calliope, Erato, Integral Classic and Blumlein, in Japan for Sony Classical, Cosmo Village and JVC, and in New Zealand for Waiteata, a discography featuring works by some forty different composers.
\nIn 1996, \u201cGolden Performance\u201d, a recording for Cosmo Village of his solo recital (Brahms, Berg and Bartok) in Nagoya\u2019s prestigious Shirakawa Hall was chosen \u201cBest Recording\u201d by Stereo Magazine, Japan and reviewed in the USA by John Sunier as \u201cone of the most impressive piano recordings I have ever heard\u201d. In 2004, Stereo Magazine again chose as \u201cBest Recording\u201d his Sony Classical album with flautist Shigenori Kudo of 20th century French flute\/piano repertoire (Poulenc, Dutilleux, Gallois-Montbrun). In 2002, his Liszt CD (Integral Classic) was voted \u201cBest Sound Recording\u201d by the French magazine Repertoire. William Dart hailed his recording of the first seven Tone Clock Pieces of Jenny McLeod (The Waiteata Collection of New Zealand Music) as \u201cincandescent\u201d.
\nGrice has performed under conductors like Armin Jordan, Michiyoshi Inoue, Wolfgang Doerner, Donald Johanos, Victor Puhl, Amaury du Closel and with artists like Anne Sophie von Otter, Maria Bayo, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Anne Gastinel, Henri Demarquette, Alexander Markov, Sergei Leiferkus, Laurent Cabasso, Dana Ciocarlie, Jean-Marie Trotereau, Shigenori Kudo, Bertrand Walter, the Anton Quartet, the Trio Sibelius. He has given concerts in France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, England, the USA, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Laos, Abu Dhabi, Malta, the Czech Republic, Morocco, Greece, Israel, Egypt, Uganda, Rumania and Canada.
\nGrice\u2019s career had a stage and movie sideline. After a first brief appearance in the 1979 5-part television serial Les Dames de la Co\u0302te by Nina Companeez, he then played (though as an actor) in the 1991 prize-winning French film Un Coeur en hiver (A Heart in Winter) by Claude Sautet, appearing alongside Emmanuelle Be\u0301art and Daniel Auteuil.
\nThrough imaginative ways of juxtaposing different works from the repertoire, the Between Two Worlds formula, the French Connections project, Grice works for a new kind of listening, encouraging many contemporary composers to write for him. He has premiered contemporary works by composers from New Zealand (Jenny McLeod, Nigel Keay, Lucien Johnson), Japan (Karen Tanaka) and France (David Chaillou, Kirill Zaborov).<\/p>\n
