Death of Boulez’s favourite clarinet, 95
mainGuy Deplus, who died today, taught most of the leading clarinet players in France and many beyond.
He founded the Concerts du Domaine Musical with Pierre Boulez in the 1950s and was principal clarinet at the Opéra, as well as professor at the Conservatoire.
A legend in the clarinet world. Wonderful player and artist. Godspeed, Mr. Deplus.
His recording of the Quatuor pour le fin du temps is superb, exquisite, nonpareil.
Bless you, Guy.
His performance is absolutely incredible! It really inspired me and made me want to work harder to become a great clarinet player like him. May God Bless You, Mr. Deplus.
