Life

Born in Paris, Blancard, the daughter of two comedians, first studied at the Lausanne Conservatory[1] then attended the Conservatoire de Paris. She later worked with Isidor Philipp and won a first prize in his class in 1926. Blancard pursued her training with Alfred Cortot, mastering both the German repertoire and the modern French school.[2] She was highly regarded as a Schumann specialist and made the first recording of Debussy's two sets of Études. In 1938, she became the first pianist to make a recording of Ravel's Concerto for the Left Hand, under Charles Munch. She also performed three piano concertos by Mozart in New York.[3][4]

She was married to Doctor Ami Miège from Geneva, Switzerland.[5]

Blancard mainly recorded for the Decca Records label.
