Jean Prodromidès, composer of Et mourir de plaisir for Roger Vadim in 1960 and of Danton for Andrzej Wajda in 1983, has died at the age of 88.

A student, with Pierre Boulez, in Olivier Messiaen’s 1945 class at the Paris Conservatoire, Jean Prodromidès also wrote an opera on Goya, several ballet and much concert music.

His oeuvre was ever classical.
