World’s oldest recording pianist, Colette Maze, dies aged 109 | Classic FM

Colette Maze, an age-defying musician, who studied with Nadia Boulanger and became the oldest pianist to record an album in 2021, has died at the age of 109 in Paris.

Maze’s passing was announced via a social media post on 21 November, which said: “Our little ray of sunshine, Colette’s light was extinguished on Sunday, at her home, with the music of Debussy, surrounded by love and by her family.”

With a love for piano and music spanning more than a century, Colette Maze’s long career and late-blooming international fame acted to prove that age was no barrier to reaching musical goals.
