Filling a request. The Quatuor Ravel sounds as crystal clear as a carillon.
(b Lyons, 10 Jan 1910; d Paris, 1 March 1976). French conductor and composer. The violin was his principal study at the Lyons and Paris conservatoires, and he won a premier prix on his graduation at Paris in 1928. Further studies followed, in composition with Roussel and in conducting with Munch and Desormière. On the outbreak of war, he was conscripted into the French army and taken prisoner in 1940. While a prisoner he composed jazz and choral works, including Chant des captifs, and was awarded a composition prize by the city of Paris in 1946.
On his release Martinon took a leading part in the reorganization of French musical life, becoming conductor of the Concerts du Conservatoire in Paris, and of the Bordeaux PO from 1946. He also started to tour widely as a guest conductor, making his London début in 1947 with the LPO, of which he became a regular associate conductor during the next two seasons. His North American début was in 1957 as guest conductor with the Boston SO (….)
As a conductor Martinon successfully imparted virtuoso qualities to an orchestra without cultivating a virtuoso personality; his performances were distinguished by a concern for translucent orchestral textures. His repertory showed a special concern for French composers, and for Prokofiev and Bartók, whose music he acknowledged as a strong influence on his own compositions. His recordings included a cycle of Prokofiev symphonies, and notable sets of Debussy and Ravel orchestral works.
He devoted part of each year to composing. His Symphony no.3 Irlandaise was composed after a guest visit to the orchestra of Radio Éireann. His Violin Concerto no.2 was written for Szeryng, and his Cello Concerto for Fournier, who gave the first performances. An opera, Hécube, with a libretto by Serge Moreux after Euripides, was first staged at Strasbourg in 1956, and among the works Martinon introduced during his Chicago appointment was his Symphony no.4, Altitudes, commissioned to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Chicago SO (1966).
