Two Cochereau recordings

[pcnd5584]

Yes it is. Il also have the rest of the tv show including, in a first part, how to play a mvt of the 2nd of Vierne and in a second part certain advises on how to improvise a sherzo : Clerc improvises on a theme given by Cochereau and then the Master plays: this is the sequence visible on you yube. I'm afraid it is useless to put it on this website since there are only few people able to understand French!

I saw the whole film (as far as I know) several years ago, in the company of David Briggs, after a lesson. I believe that the lesson on the Choral from Vierne's Symphonie Deuxième featured a young lady organist (whose identity I do not know). At one point Cochereau made a mistake in describing something, although I cannot recall exactly what this was.

The Clerc scherzo began, as someone has pointed-out, rather low down on the clavier. Cochereau was distinctly unimpressed!

Quite so!
Before listening to PC, one has the impression that finally, Clerc is a real good improviser, but when Cochereau takes over him at the manuals.....

Indeed!

I think that I have a CD of Clerc improvising somewhere (or it might be performing transcriptions of improvisations by Cochereau and other artists). I will try to locate it later.

Her name is Carole Parlanti (but I'm afraid that's all I know about her).

The lady organist is Carole Parlanti who had been a pupil of René Saorgin and PC at the Nice Conservatoire from 1964 and 1977.
