Is Mr. Canteloube really "well" known???? olivier 11:51 Oct 25, 2002 (UTC)

Honestly I have never heard of him. Famous in auvergne are Vercingétorix, Pascal, Michelin, Courtin, Desaix, Domat, Bargoin, Le Coq, Michael de l'Hospital, Teilhard de Chardin, Fernand Raynaud.... user:anthere

It's not so much that Canteloube is well known, but that these songs are well known (at least in classical circles). He's one of those composers who is just known for one thing. He made recordings of Auvergnois folk songs, and then turned them into this piece, which is very widely performed. It's probably worth mentioning here. --Camembert

enough for him to deserve a place here then.
we say "Auvergnats" not Auvergnois though user:anthere


Yes, I realised I'd got it wrong just after I typed it, but couldn't think what the right form was. I think it's OK as it stands, anyway. --Camembert
