Claude Pascal
Claude Pascal (born February 19, 1921[1] in Paris), is a French composer.
After studying at the Paris Conservatoire, he obtained the 1945 Premier Prix de Rome for the cantata, La farce du contre Bandier.[1] After a brief period as conductor of the Opéra-Comique, Pascal became professor at the Paris Conservatoire in 1952, a position he held until his retirement in 1987. From 1969 to 1979 he worked as a music critic for Le Figaro, and from 1983 to 1991 he was an expert on copyright issues at the Paris Court of Appeals.[2]
Pascal's extensive work as a composer includes practically every musical genre. The discography of his works consists of more than thirty CDs.
