David Fray is a French classical pianist born in Tarbes in 1981 who trained at conservatoires in France and began his international career in the early 2000s, specialising in solo recitals and concerto repertoire. His playing emphasises lyrical clarity, flexible phrasing and attention to Baroque and Classical repertoire including works by Bach, Mozart and Schubert, and his programme choices and tempi have prompted discussion about interpretation within contemporary classical performance.
