Description

ROGER ALBIN (BEAUSOLEIL (ALPES-MARITIMES) SEPTEMBER 30, 1920 – STRASBOURG (BAS-RHIN) JUNE 1, 2001)

 

 

 

 

Roger Albin first became known as a cellist, an instrument learned in the class of Paul Bazelaire at the Paris Conservatory where he received his first prize in 1936. He also attended classes of Noël Gallon, Henri Busser, Darius Milhaud and Olivier Messiaen. At the turn of the 1940s-1950s, Roger Albin formed a duo with pianist Claude Helffer and recorded records, including a splendid version of Claude Debussy’s Sonata for cello and piano. Since 1957 he began directing the choirs of the Opéra-Comique and from 1960 finally orchestra. In 1966, Roger Albin was appointed to the Orchester radio-symphonique de Strasbourg, a position he kept until the break-up of the ORTF in 1975. Then he took up his cello again and gained the ranks of the National Orchestra of France.
