Presentation

More improvisations by Pierre Cochereau? Have we not already been sated with his art in the genre, an art radiant above all in the large form through his symphonic creations in four orfive movements, generously inspired by listening to the mystical vessel of Notre-Dame deParis? That would be to forget, precisely in this domain of the large form, that Pierre Cochereau’s art stemmed just as much from the coordinated mastery of all the structural and aesthetic components,from the most fundamental to the most minute, endowing his improvised symphonies with a sweep and a density that indeed give the impression of being able to apprehend them in a ‘global’, overall manner, like a highly coherent whole. However, such a completeness would be unthinkable were it not masterfully worked in the sense of the detail finished in itself, always as compared with and inservice to the depth of musical emotion felt and transmitted.
Michel Roubinet
