Rouvier was remarkably successful at piano competitions in his youth.

He then took third prize at the Marguerite Long-Jacques Thibaud International Competition[1] (ex-aequo with Vladimir Viardo) in Paris in 1971, securing an international career.
In 1970 he founded a piano trio with Jean-Jacques Kantorow and Philippe Muller with whom he continues to perform. His recording of the complete works for piano by Maurice Ravel won the Grand Prix du disque.
