Do you know Thierry Pallesco ?

[solorgan]

Hello everyone,

Excuse my bad english first ! I don't like very much contemporary music but I'm very fond of Thierry Pallesco's organ music ! Nice to hear ! Do you know this french composer ? His music sounds a little like Dupré's or Duruflé's music. I have listened to his own mp3 recordings (digital organ) in his personal website.

What do you think about him ?

Hello solorgram and welcome to the forum. I am not familiar with Pallesco, but I am sure others here are

I found one "improvisation" of him on Youtube. On the video, we can read that he stopped all concerts 10 years ago. Interseting, as well...

He has uploaded some of his recordings onto YouTube and has a web site:

Hadn't heard of him before, so thanks Solorgan - and welcome to the forum!

Yes, and I'm very fond of "his" Buxtehude ! The end of the fugue is very impressive ! Never heared so fast before !

Pallesco was in the same organ class at the Paris Conservatoire as Naji Hakim(he got a first organ price with Rolande Falcinelli). He is 57 years old, living in Poitiers (SW of France).
His very modest character impedes him to be more known although his music proves he deserves a better consideration!

Modest character or not, I think it's not obvious to be appreciated for a composer who writes contemporary music, mainly organ music ! Bach is made for all the ears ! In France, one says: to like is to know (at first!).
