 “The quarter-page ‘Corrèze Notebook’ started up in ‘The News’ in 1999. Then it grew to half a page, then a page, then various supplements, the ‘Limousin News’ magazine and finally to the three pages you read today in the main paper. As a full-time composer and pianist and also teacher at the Conservatoire de Brive my main work is in classical music. I’m lucky to have my music played regularly and recent years have seen a gratifying recognition of my work in France with performances and recordings by eminent players – notably Olivier Latry, organist at Notre-Dame, Paris, the oboist, Nora Cismondi and clarinetist, Nicolas Baldeyrou, both principals with the Orchestre National de France, and Jérôme Devaud's Paris-based Forum Sinfonietta. I live in the old town of Uzerche, jewel of the Corrèze, where I write the Limousin pages every month.” |
