Maurice Gendron was born in Nice, France in 1920. His mother played the violin in a theater
orchestra, and Maurice received violin lessons at the age of four. He disliked the violin, and took up
the cello a year later at the age of ve. He played a quarter-size cello, and like it very much. His rst
cello teacher, Stepane Odero took him to hear Feuermann play, and the ten-year-old Gendron was
moved to tears by the experience. He graduated from the Nice Conservatory with rst prize at the
age of 14, in 1934. Three years later he want to Paris to study with Gerard Hekking. He lived on a
shoestring, and his health suered so much that he was classifed exempt from military service in
WWII. However he joined the Resistance, and refused to perform in Germany.
After the war, he made his solo debut at Wigmore Hall in London, December 2, 1945. Benjamin
Britten was his accompanist, and they performed sonatas by Faure and Debussy. It was also in
December of 1945 that Gendron gave the European premier performance of Prokoev's First Cello
Concerto, with the London Philharmonic and Walter Susskind. Gendron would joke about it
saying, "That's how I began my career. No one wanted to hear Maurice Gendron, but they all
wanted to hear Prokoev!"
Gendron's New York debut was at a memorial concert for Feuermann, where he performed the
Dvorak and Haydn D Major Concertos. He formed a string trio with Yehudi and Hepzibah Menuhin
that lasted for 25 years. Gendron is unique in being the only solo cellist conducted by Pablo Casals
on a commercial recording. They did the Haydn D Major, and the Boccherini B Flat with the
Lamoureaux Orchestra, from original scores discovered by Gendron in the Dresden State Library.
Gendron became a professor at the Paris Conservatoire in 1970, and has taught at other music
schools around Europe. He is admired especially for his interpretations of French music.
