Prodiges: Simon Lopez
Winner of season 8 of the TV show Les Prodiges in front of 3.5 million viewers, Simon Lopez is a gifted clarinet player at just 16 years of age. His album was recorded with the Orchestre Victor Hugo Franche-Comté under the direction of Jean-François Verdier and Guillaume Vincent on piano.
" This album is a real opportunity for me to highlight the instrument that has accompanied and followed me for over ten years now. I hope to transport you through different styles of music - from concertante pieces to famous opera arias to jazz or tango - so that you can appreciate the beautiful sound that the clarinet can have." Simon Lopez.
