Paul Derenne (born René Bouvier) (1907, Rennes – 18 April 1988, Bec-Hellouin) was a French tenor whose eclectic repertoire allowed him a successful career on stage and on the concert platform.〔 ==Life and career== Derenne undertook studies in architecture while also pursuing vocal studies with Marguerite Babaïan. She recommended him to Reynaldo Hahn (who suggested his stage name based on his home town). After taking part in a competition in 1935 organised by the magazine ''Comœdia'', he made his debut under Charles Munch in the French premiere of ''Hin und Zurück'' by Hindemith.〔Machart R.

Derenne made his debut at the Paris Opéra Comique in 1937 in the French premieres of ''Le testament de la tante Caroline'' by Albert Roussel (Noel) and of ''Ariadne auf Naxos'' by Richard Strauss (Brighella) alongside de Germaine Lubin and Janine Micheau, both operas conducted by Roger Désormière.〔Wolff S.

Freed after a few months, Derenne joined the company of the Palais de Chaillot, singing many leading lyric roles of the opéra comique repertoire, such as ''Fortunio'', George Brown in ''La dame blanche'', Almaviva in ''Il Barbiere di Siviglia'' (in French) and Gérald in ''Lakmé''.〔 He also sang in the first performance of surviving fragments of Chabrier's ''Vaucochard et Fils 1er'' on 22 April 1941 at the Salle du Conservatoire.〔Delage R. ''Emmanuel Chabrier''. Paris, Fayard, 1999, p693.〕 During the Occupation he came to know Henri Sauguet, and sang in the premiere of ''La Gageure imprévue'' (Détieulette) at the Opéra Comique in 1944,〔 also premiering the song cycle 'Les Pénitents en maillot rose', (poems by Max Jacob). Sauguet introduced Derenne to other members of Groupe des Six and also recorded ''Socrate'' with him in 1954. He premiered many mélodies of Jacques Leguerney, including "Poèmes de la Pléiade, 1er Recueil. After the war Derenne appeared in Great Britain, at the Edinburgh Festival, in Germany, Netherlands, Portugal and Italy, where he appeared at Fenice in Venice and La Scala in Milan in ''L'heure espagnole'' and ''L'Enfant et les sortilèges'', which he recorded under Ernest Ansermet in 1953. With Henri Sauguet he participated in many radio concerts exploring the repertoire of the French mélodie. After retiring from singing he taught for many years. His wife wrote a book of memoirs: Jacqueline Paul Derenne, ''Une vie en duo'', Rouen, Éditions Médianes, 1992. 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「Paul Derenne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
