PIERRE FOURNIER IS DEA AT 79; CELLIST TYPIFIED FRENCH STYLE
1986
Overview
Mr. Fournier performed in the United States for the first time in 1948 and returned to this country many times thereafter. As recently as 1983, Mr. Fournier gave a recital at Merkin Concert Hall playing works with which he had established a strong identity over a long career - the Schubert ''Arpeggione'' Sonata and sonatas by Debussy, [Bohuslav Martinu] and Chopin. John Rockwell, writing in The New York Times, observed that some of Mr. Fournier's effortless technique had slipped away but that the ''patrician'' style remained intact. Some 20 years earlier, Harold C. Schonberg described Mr. Fournier's tone in the Shostakovich E-flat Cello Concerto as ''elegant but inclined to thinness,'' adding that he had ''adopted a chamber-music approach'' to the work.
