" François Davin, music-loving webmaster, noticed that the Web had not honoured Charles Gounod. " It is so to repair this injustice that the decision was made to create this site which is completely dedicated to him ". Gounod, prolific composer if one is, is the author of more than six hundred musical pieces. Masses, operas, chants, including works called posthumous! The whole is read like a book - with papers of big specialists, well illustrated , the content is excellent. Surprise: a collection of pen portraits from one of the least familiar composers ! Example: Who knows "Sapho" or... "The Bloody Nun"?"
