    A mix of cunning storekeeper and centurion. Great figure.

    REPERTOIRE was my favourite review magazine and ran for many years but once there were 4 monthly review magazines and the cd boom reduced, they merged with Classica which still exists.

  • pjl says:

    seems that REPERTOIRE lasted 16 years with 174 issues before the merger with Classica though Cheriere passed the editorship to the equally excellent Christophe Huss in 1993
