The highly respected and hypoeractive French pianist Claude Kahn died yesterday.

A pupil of Marguerite Long, he specialised in French repertoire and played some 2,000 concerts worldwide.

He founded a conservatoire in Antibes-Juan les Pins and directed another nearby in Cagnes-sur-Mer, both idyllic settings.
