Dodds' "The Greeks and the irrational" into French in view of its publication by Aubier-Montaigne in Paris in 1963 ("Les Grecs et l'irrationnel"). The anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss termed it “one of the key books of the present century.”〔In a letter to Michael F. Gibson.〕 That same year Gibson founded the Collège Musical de Trie in the small village of Trie-la-Ville at the Château de Trie (), to the north-ouest of Paris. In this private institution the musicologist Antoine Geoffroy-Dechaume taught the interpretation of early music (16th to 18th centuries) according to principles laid down in period documents. The College was visited by such major figures as Yehudi Menuhin, who repeatedly called upon Geoffroy-Dechaume to participate in the Bath festival; Pierre Boulez, who marked the bicentennial of the death of Jean-Philippe Rameau at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées in Paris in 1964 by conducting Geoffroy-Dechaume’s transcription into modern notation of the opera "Hippolyte et Aricie"; the guitarist and lutenist Julian Bream who gave a memorable concert in the village church; the conductor André Jouve and his wife, the singer Marie-Thérèse Kahn; the harpsichordist George Malcolm ; and the pianist Yvonne Lefébure who was a frequent visitor with her husband, the musicologist Fred Goldbeck. The young English harpsichord-maker, Anthony Sidey, who had just completed his apprenticeship with the Dolmetsch firm in Surrey, opened a workshop in Trie-la-Ville in 1964. Four years later, after the music center closed, he settled in Paris, where he is still working. In 1969, Gibson was hired as art critic by the International Herald Tribune. He wrote regularly for that paper for the next 35 years. He also published a number of monographs on Peter Bruegel, Marcel Duchamp and Dada, Symbolist art (Symbolism), Paul Gauguin, Odilon Redon and others. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Francis Gibson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
