Marcel Moyse
Marcel Moyse (1889–1984) was
one of the most influential players
and teachers of the twentieth
century. He was professor of flute
at the Paris Conservatoire and was
the author of many books of
etudes and exercises that are the
backbone to the studies of flute
players around the world. Moyse
made a large number of
recordings, many of which have
seen the light of day as CD
reissues.
Christopher Steward’s early flute recordings
Entr’acte from the third act of Bizet’s
Carmen, taken from a fairly complete
recording of the opera made in 1928.
Orchestre Symphonique de Paris,
conducted by Elie Cohen. Moyse’s name
is not mentioned on the disc, but there is
little doubt that he is the player here.
