about
The art of musical portraiture (portraits) is an old French tradition which dates to the era of Louis XIV, with Rameau, Couperin, etc. These portraits are written for my double bass playing friends. As I met each friend, I wrote a small piece for him; each one is a sort of snapshot, a character photograph, illustrating how I sensed that person at a particular moment in time. It is a way of thanking them as both people and musicians. Of course, these collections are not limited but remain open for my future double bass playing friends…
– Bernard Salles
Bernard Salles was born in 1954 and began his musical education
in his home town of Perpignan (France), where he studied a number
of subjects at the conservatory: double bass, organ, composition and
conducting. In 1973 he studied at the Conservatoire of Versailles and
in 1976, at the age of 22, was awarded a double bass teaching diploma.
Since then he has taught at the Conservatoire of Pau (South-West
France). He regularly played with major French orchestras such as
the Orchestra of Paris and the National Orchestra of France, under
the direction of conductors such as Daniel Barenboïm, Pierre Boulez,
Zubin Metha and Lorin Maazel.
Between 1997 and 1999 he recorded three CDs on the GALLO label
(Switzerland) – music for double bass and string quintet and Suites I
– V and 6 chorales by J.S. Bach. In 1983 Bernard Salles began a parallel career as a conductor and was Musical Director of the Orchestra of Pau from 1996 to 2001. He has also conducted the Orchestra of Pamplona (Spain) and is currently Musical Director of OSSO (Orchestre Symphonique du Sud-Ouest).
As a composer and member of the SACEM (Society of Authors,
Composers and Editors of Music), he has written over 50 works,
including two symphonies, a cantata, Concerto for double bass
and small orchestra, Rhapsody for viola and orchestra, Triptych
for orchestra, Prelude for cello and orchestra, a symphonic poem
for soprano, cello and orchestra, an oratorio: “The Seven Last Words
of Christ on the Cross” for voice and orchestra, as well as works for
chamber groups, for choir and for organ. In 2010 he began a series of
small pieces for unaccompanied double bass: “Portraits for Friends”,
dedicated to his double bass playing friends.
