Paul Antonin Vidal (16 June 1863 – 9 April 1931) was a French composer, conductor and music teacher mainly active in Paris.〔Charlton D. Paul Vidal. In: ''The New Grove Dictionary of Opera.'' Macmillan, London and New York, 1997.〕 ==Life and career== Paul Vidal was born in Toulouse, and studied at the conservatoires there and in Paris, under Jules Massenet at the latter. He won the Prix de Rome in 1883, one year before Claude Debussy. On 8 January 1886, in Rome, Vidal and Debussy performed Franz Liszt's ''Faust Symphony'' at two pianos for Liszt himself, an after-dinner performance that Liszt apparently slept through. The following day they played Emmanuel Chabrier's ''Trois valses romantiques'' for Liszt. Vidal conducted at the Paris Opera where he made his first appearance directing ''Gwendoline'' in 1894 (he had coached the singers for the Paris premiere in 1893〔Chabrier E, ''Correspondance''. Ed Delage R, Durif F. Klincksieck, 1994. 93-36n.〕), and later conducted the first performance of ''Ariane'' and the Paris premieres of ''Roma'' by Massenet, and ''L'étranger'' by d’Indy. He co-founded the Concerts de l’Opera with Georges Marty.〔 He was Music Director of the Opéra-Comique from 1914–19, conducting revivals of ''Alceste'', ''Don Juan'', ''Iphigénie en Tauride'', ''Irato'', ''Le Rêve'' and ''Thérèse''. He also conducted the premieres of several operas and ballets.〔Wolff, Stéphane. ''Un demi-siècle d'Opéra-Comique (1900-1950).''

His brother Joseph Bernard Vidal (1859-1924) was also a composer.〔 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 Vidal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
