  Events... Complete edition for guitar M.M PONCE
  "Some strong links have been created without our knowledge. Manuel Maria Ponce (1882-1948) takes an important part in my life. When I finished recording his complete edition for guitar, 60 years after his death, I thought about all the joyful musical moments I lived during this long work and I thank him so much. "
  Works... composer...
  "I prefer being touched than being surprised." This sentence of François Couperin (1668-1733) is now a daily rule in my way of musician life. Among many chiefs of work of this great composer, 2 of them belong to my musical listenings : Leons de Tnbres" and his 2 continuations for viol. These works remain for me a marvellous source of renewal of my inspiration of interpreter.

  Testimony about strings  
  "I always privileged the tone and the behaviour of sound for obvious musical reasons to sound power of several brands of strings. With the SAVAREZ Corum strings I appreciate this ideal balance between power, quality of tone and behaviour of sound. Never I found the equal one to the depth and the behaviour of "Blue Corum", they answer perfectly to my demanding requests. The problem of the 3rd string (G) is recurrent. I use now the G blue Alliance ; the string is thinner and the transition with the other strings is done naturally.I think sincerely that it does not exist the similar string in the world!"
