This project included a number of premiere recordings of Liszt's works (Mephisto Waltzes Nos. 3 and 4, Valse oubliée No. 3, Mephisto Polka, Mazurka brillante, two Caprices-Valses, two Csardas, Scherzo and March, Marche solonelle in honour of Goethe, Galop in A minor and two Albumblätter)[5] and it gained her the Grand Prix du Disque de l'Académie Charles Cros and the Grand Prix de l'Académie Européenne du Disque. It is still claimed in various places that she recorded the "complete piano works of Liszt"[8] and "Liszt's complete pianistic output",[5] but this can be shown not to be the case when her Liszt recordings (24 LPs, which were later transferred to 28 CDs)[2] are compared with the 99 Liszt CDs recorded by Leslie Howard, which included over 300 premiere recordings. From 1980 she recorded for Forlane.
France Clidat recorded the complete piano works of Erik Satie,[4and works by Rachmaninoff, Grieg Chopin, Tchaikovsky[10] and Marcel Landowski.
She taught at the École Normale de Musique in Paris[3] for a number of years, where she attracted many students from around the world. She also gave masterclasses in various countries, particularly Japan.
Clidat appeared as a juror at many important piano competitions, including the International Franz Liszt Competition,[11] the 3rd International Rhodes Competition,[6] and the Francis Poulenc Competition
She published articles about Liszt's solo piano music, such as "The Transcendental Studies: A Lisztian Pianist's Impressions" in New Light on Liszt and His Music (Walker, Saffle, Deaville)[13] and "Aux sources littéraires de Franz Liszt", with Jeanne Fauré-Cousin, an entire double issue of La Révue musicale.
Many works were dedicated to France Clidat[4] and Bruno Rossignol wrote an Aria et Fugato sur le Nom de France Clidat
Her playing of the Adagio from Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16, was featured in the 2000 film Maelström. (Wikipedia)
