He first came to the notice of Sir Yehudi Menuhin in the 1988 Leipzig Bach competition where he won the two most important prizes \u2013 First Prize and Special Prize for the best Bach performance. He was 18 at the time. He soon after made his Moscow and Paris debuts performing the Tcha\u00efkovsky Trio with Menuhin and Victoria Postnikova, a collaboration documented on film by the famous film director Bruno Monsaingeon. In 1989, Mstislav Rostropovitch invited Marc to the Evian Festival and from that moment on his solo career quickly developed.\r\n\r\nHe performs regularly as a soloist with leading orchestras in collaboration with numerous distinguished conductors \u2013 Eliahu Inbal, Rafael Fr\u00fchbeck de Burgos, Yan-Pascal Tortelier, Emmanuel Krivine, Alan Gilbert, Christian Arming, Lionel Bringuier, Alain Altinoglu, Michel Plasson, Jean-Claude Casadesus, Theodor Guschlbauer, John Nelson, Raymond Leppard, Erich Bergel, Philippe Entremont, Pascal Roph\u00e9, Philippe Bender, Paul McCreesh, Yutaka Sado, Kirill Karabits and Asher Fisch. In 2021 Marc Coppey will be Artist in Residence with the Orquestra Sinf\u00f3nica do Porto Casa da M\u00fasica \u2013 performing Elgar\u2019s Cello Concerto with Christian Zacharias, Dvorak with Vassily Sinaisky, Shostakovich No.1 with Stefan Blunier, Rhim Concerto with the Remix Ensemble and Peter Rundel and the Dutilleux Concerto with John Storgards.

Performing and promoting contemporary music is very important to him and many composers have dedicated works to him, including Auerbach, Bertrand, Christian, Dufourt, Durieux, Fedele, F\u00e9nelon, Hurel, Jarrell, Jolas, Krawczyk, Lenot, Leroux, Mantovani, Me\u00efmoun, Monnet, Pauset, Poppe, P\u00e9cou, Reverdy, Staud, Tanguy, Verri\u00e8res.\r\n\r\nHe gave world premi\u00e8res of concertos by Lenot, Tanguy and Monnet, as well as giving French premieres of concertos by Carter, Mantovani and T\u00fc\u00fcr. In March 2015 he premi\u00e8red ten works for solo cello by some of today\u2019s most prominent composers as a tribute to Pierre Boulez at the Paris Philharmonie. The Arte tv channel recently filmed him live performing the complete Bach Suites in one evening in Lyon.\r\n\r\nMarc Coppey\u2019s recordings have received critical acclaim worldwide.

Among his most recent recordings are world premi\u00e8res of the concertante works of Th\u00e9odore Dubois on the Mirare label. His release of the complete Bach Suites (awarded T\u00e9l\u00e9rama\u2019s ffff) and a CD dedicated to Dohnanyi (awarded \u201c10 de R\u00e9pertoire\u201d), were both recorded for the Aeon\/Outhere label.
