Thierry de Brunhoff (born 9 November 1934) is a French pianist and Benedictine monk.
He is particularly known for his interpretations of Chopin and Schumann (one senses in this the very deep mark of his first master, Cortot), but his repertoire is very broad, from Beethoven to Debussy and Ravel, through Carl Maria von Weber, whose ostracism Brunhoff regrets, even the condescension with which he would be treated by musicians.
In 1974, he retired as a monk to the En-Calcat Abbey in the Tarn department[1] and became Brother Thierry Jean.
Pianist and radio producer Philippe Cassard devoted several series of programs to Thierry de Brunhoff on France Musique between 2008 and 2015.
In 2004, EMI Classics published a double record in the series "Les Rarissimes",[4] with interpretations of works by Chopin, Weber and Schumann, revealing this pianist who was almost forgotten at the time.
