I was just wondering if anyone has heard his playing and/or works. I heard him the other day on the radio, and thought it was very good. Of course, he is probably better known in Canada, being a Canadian and all...
He`s an organist/pianist/harpsichordist/composer. Too bad I can`t recall the work I heard...
''Music, I feel, should be emotional first and intellectual second.'' - Maurice Ravel
''The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work.'' - Michael Jackson
I don't know his work but he sure has received a very solid and wide-ranging music education. Lots of awards too.

Rojo, I don't know his works or his playing but will keep an eye out. I'm always looking for interesting new music.
I've heard a number of his works, and a CD recorded by him - he writes very well (and appears to be a heck of an organist, also!)
Just browsing old posts and found this one - thought I would speak up since no one said they have played Denis Bedard's works.
I have played his music and love his writing. I currently recommend the "Six Paraphrases Gregoriennes" -- I play 5 of the works in this collection -- just did one at communion last week.
I encourage you to track down this composer's music. It has a french flair, interesting chords and progressions and people love it, there is something at all levels -beginner to advanced. Very accessible, classy and fresh.
ps.I don't get paid to say all this. I just enjoy Bedard's writing.

rojo, my dear, do you have a link to MP3s or CBC MP3 files so I can hear his/her music?
many thanks
