Odile Catelin-Delangle

Delangle was born in Avignon (France). Her predilection for chamber music led her to perform with numerous partners: in Australia with Philippe Cuper, soloist clarinet at the Opera Orchestra of Paris, during musical cruises with the cellist Alain Meunier, the oboist David Walter, the violinist Alexis Galpérine; she has been in many tours with the percussionist Jean Geoffroy, the accordionist Max Bonnay and the singer Susanna Moncayo; she works with the violinist Diana Cazaban and records the Beethoven Quintet with the Diastema Quartet. Her repertoire is vast and shows a great liking for twentieth century music. She has performed in eighty premieres (Denisov, Taïra, Nodaïra, Hosokawa, Louvier, etc.) and has carried out regular work with numerous composers as an interpreter but also as pedagogue in her class at the Ecole Normale de Musique of Paris, where she receives many foreign students (Europe, USA, Canada, Argentina, Chile, Taiwan, China, Japan). She also gives master classes on French music, in particular on Debussy, Ravel, Messiaen and Dutilleux. She was at the Ecole Normale where she carried out her advanced studies under the direction of the great pedagogue Germaine Mounier and where she obtained her “Teaching degree” and her “Concert degree” unanimously. She owes her particular sense of phrasing and colour to the master classes received from the great pedagogue Mario Curcio. Since the 80s she has visited every corner of the planet with her husband, the saxophonist Claude Delangle, and has recorded with him about fifteen discs, mainly for the Swedish firm BIS. Mrs. Delangle has been awarded at the international competitions Maria Canals of Barcelona (Spain) and of Geneva (Switzerland).
