Translated Notes

       At the age of 4, the destiny of Paul Mauriat (a Frenchman of pure French stock) seemed definite. He played the piano with such fluency for his age that his father, a famous classical concert pianist, was convinced that he would follow his path. At the age of 10 he entered the Paris Conservatory and at 14 he completed his studies in piano and composition. A "record" difficult to match. When he was about to start his career as a precocious concert pianist and to translate on the keyboard Bach, Mozart, Beethoven? when he discovered jazz! Paul Mauriat felt that a revolution was taking place in his youthful spirit. He decided to form a small orchestral ensemble and to start playing modern music.

       Mauriat - in constant evolution since the age of 18 when he made his debut in Paris at the head of his orchestra - is already considered by critics as one of the most brilliant pianists, conductors and arrangers of our time. All the greats of the song, recognizing him as such, call for his collaboration.

       Mauriat is always on the latest "wave", in the most attractive and vital of the present without forgetting the best of the past. He reads Shakespeare as well as Simenon's detective novels. He listens and studies Bach as well as Armstrong or Brassen. Creator of world hits such as "Love is blue", among others, he shows himself eternally young, achieving the miracle that his music appeals to all generations.

Original Notes in Spanish
 

       A los 4 años, el destino de Paul Mauriat (francés de pura cepa) parecía definido. Tocaba el piano con tal soltura para su edad, que su padre, famoso concertista clásico, estaba convencido de que seguiría su camino. A los 10 años ingresó en el Conservatorio de París y a los 14 finalizó la carrera de piano y composición. Un "récord" difícil de igualar. Cuando estaba a punto de iniciar su carrera de concertista precoz y de traducir en el teclado a Bach, Mozart, Beethoven... cuando descubrió el jazz! Paul Mauriat sintió que en su juvenil espíritu se producía una revolución. Decidió formar un pequeño conjunto orquestal y lanzarse a interpretar música moderna.

       Mauriat - en constante evolución desde los 18 años en que debuta en París al frente de su orquesta - es ya considerado por la crítica como uno de los pianistas, directores de orquesta y arregladores más brillantes de nuestra época. Todos los grandes de la canción, reconociéndolo así, reclaman su colaboración.

       Mauriat siempre está en la última "onda", en lo más atractivo y vital del presente sin olvidar lo mejor del pasado. Lee tanto a Shakespeare como novelas policiales de Simenon. Escucha y estudia tanto a Bach como a Armstrong o a Brassen. Creador de sucesos mundiales como "El amor es azul", entre otros, se muestra eternamente joven logrando el milagro que su música guste a todas las generaciones.
