Biography
Biography
Ringeissen was born in Paris on 15 May 1934. His first teacher, at age seven, was Georges de Lausnay. He entered its Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in 1947, aged twelve, and won the Premier Prix when he was sixteen. He had further study with Marguerite Long and Jacques Février. In 1953, he temporarily retired from public performance, to focus on music competition. In 1954, he won equal 2nd Prize with Sergio Scopelliti at the Alfredo Casella Competition in Naples. He also won the International Music Performance Competition in Geneva that year. In 1955, he won fourth prize at the V International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw; then equal second Prize with Dimitri Bashkirov at the Marguerite Long-Jacques Thibaud International Competition (no first Prize was awarded that year). In 1962, he won first prize at the Rio de Janeiro International Competition and the Villa-Lobos Special Prize for his interpretation of Brazilian music. He performed widely and served on competition juries in many countries. He taught in Rueil-Malmaison, and gave master-classes at the Salzburg Mozarteum and at the International Summer Seminar in Weimar. Ringeissen died in Gisors on 4 April 2025, at the age of 90.
