Medical Consultants in Concert for Children’s Charity

Swiss Global will present a recital by a trio made up of three of the most eminent members of Lausanne’s medical profession: Jean-Blaise Wasserfallen flute, François Spertini viola and Jean-Paul Dépraz cello. The three consultants are avid music makers in the limited time available to them away from their busy professional activities, and we are honoured that they have agreed to perform for the first time in public under the Foundation’s auspices, in aid of a children’s charity. The programme will include music by Roussel, Giordani and von Call, and our public relations advisor, Michael Green, will give a short talk on the life and achievements of the French composer Albert Roussel, now the subject of much renewed public interest.

L’oeuvre d’Albert Roussel: Intervention M. Michael Green

Albert Roussel, 1869-1937                                Trio en fa majeur op 40 (1929)

Membre d’une famille de la bourgeoisie industrielle tourquennoise, il fait ses études secondaires à l’Institution libre du Sacré-Coeur, puis au collège Stanislas de Paris.

Il fit d’abord carrière dans la marine avant de se consacrer entièrement à la musique à partir de 1894: il étudia avec Eugène Gigout avant d’entrer en 1898 à la Schola Cantorum, fondée à Paris en 1894 par Charles Bordes, Alexandre Guilmant et Vincent d’Indy. Il y enseigna le contrepoint entre 1902 et 1914, comptant parmi ses élèves Erik Satie et Edgar Varèse. Musicien très respecté, influencé par Debussy et d’Indy, il composa des mélodies, quatre symphonies, des ballets (Le Festin de l’araignée, Bacchus et Ariane, Aeneas), un opéra-ballet Padmâvatî et un triptyque symphonique avec choeur Évocations, oeuvres inspirées par son voyage de noces aux Indes. Il décéda à Royan des suites d’un malaise cardiaque. Il est enterré dans le petit cimetière de Varengeville-sur-mer, près de Dieppe, en Seine Maritime.
