Career

Following a series of concerts throughout the world, Savelli momentarily stopped his career for family reasons. It was during this time that he devoted himself to the influence of music on people, primarily on those who suffer. He embodies his research with the help of doctors, by the establishment of an emotional level, usable by anyone other than the musicians. During and after 2012, Jean Marc Savelli prepared his coming back of concerts devoted to Beethoven-Chopin-Liszt. He was expected back on the scene in 2013. In 2013, he released an original video clip, "Corse Classique", dedicated to Beethoven, Liszt, and Chopin. This video was voted the best YouTube video about Beethoven by musicsense.org for the interpretation of the Piano Sonata No. 8 ("Pathétique"). In 2014 he released the album "Classical Recital" under the Americal label "Famous Records Corp". He was also ranked by edu.gazeta.pl in their Top 12 Global Chopin interpreters.
