This early connection was immediately fruitful, earning him First Prizes in violin and chamber music at the Conservatoire National Sup\u00e9rieur de Musique de Paris at the age of 12, and two years later, he flew to the United States.\r\nThe trip would prove decisive: he met Isaac Stern, David O\u00efstrakh, Pierre Fournier, and Nadia Boulanger. Impressed by his playing, Zino Francescatti invited him to join the prestigious American concert agency Columbia Artists Management Inc.: R\u00e9gis Pasquier was quickly sought out as a soloist by all the major North American orchestras, notably the Cleveland Orchestra, conducted by George Szell and then considered the finest orchestra in the world, and the Pittsburgh Orchestra. A few years later, Zino Francescatti invited R\u00e9gis Pasquier to record Bach's Concerto for Two Violins with him for Deutsche Grammophon. His reputation extends far beyond the United States, and \"His frank and ample sound, his scrupulous attention to phrasing, his remarkable technical ease, his total accuracy\" (Le Figaro) are qualities that quickly distinguish the greatest orchestras, which invite him to France, Japan, Germany, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and more. R\u00e9gis Pasquier performs under the direction of the most prestigious conductors: first and foremost Lorin Maazel, with whom he toured the United States, but also Georges Pr\u00eatre, Leonard Bernstein, Alain Lombard, Michel Plasson, Jean-Claude Casadesus, Jean Fournet, Marc Soustrot, Rudolf Baumgartner, George Szell, Matthias Bamert, Edo de Waart, Michael Tilson Thomas, Charles Dutoit, Tamas Vasary, Yo\u00ebl Levi, Seiji Ozawa, Louis Langr\u00e9e, Neeme J\u00e4rvi, Eugen Jochum, Emmanuel Krivine\u2026\r\nHis renowned chamber music partners include Isaac Stern, Mstislav Rostropovich, Menahem Pressler, Leonard Rose, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Murray Perahia, Paul Tortelier, and others.\r\nIn addition to the recognition of his peers, he also garnered public acclaim: in 1991, he was voted \"Best Soloist of the Year\" at the Victoires de la Musique awards and received the Special Prize from the Nouvelle Acad\u00e9mie du Disque.\r\nThe disc is indeed a testament to his strong presence, particularly in the field of chamber music. After concert works with the Orchestre National de Bordeaux Aquitaine under Alain Lombard, and the Berg and Bart\u00f3k Concertos with the Hungarian Radio Orchestra under Erich Bergel, R\u00e9gis Pasquier recorded the Prokofiev and Brahms Concertos. He has also recorded the complete Caprices of Paganini (Auvidis).\r\nHis recording of the Mozart Concertos with the Li\u00e8ge Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted\r\nby Pierre Bartholom\u00e9e (an Auvidis recording that was widely acclaimed by the press), precedes that of the Beethoven Sonatas for Violin and Piano, recorded with his longtime colleague\r\nJean-Claude Pennetier, and awarded a second \"Victoire de la Musique\" (Music Victoire).\r\nFor Calliope, he recorded the Beethoven and Tchaikovsky Concertos with the Baltic Chamber Orchestra under Emmanuel Leducq-Bar\u00f4me.\r\nAlso released by Assa\u00ef is a CD recorded with the Orchestre de Picardie, conducted\r\nby Edmon Colomer: Bernstein's Serenade and Kurt Weill's Concerto for Violin and Wind Instruments. With the Pennetier-Pasquier-Pidoux Trio, a beautiful recording devoted to Ravel was released\r\non Saphir Productions, followed by another dedicated to Rachmaninoff.\r\nFar from being overwhelmed by this success, and concerned with the transmission of his knowledge and the training\r\nof younger generations, R\u00e9gis Pasquier taught violin at the Conservatoire National Sup\u00e9rieur de Musique de Paris from 1985 to 2011.\r\nR\u00e9gis Pasquier regularly undertakes a \"musical world tour,\" performing both chamber music (and more particularly with the Pennetier-Pasquier-Pidoux Trio)\r\nand with orchestras in Australia, Japan, Canada, the USA, Central America, South America, New Caledonia, Russia, and throughout Europe: Finland, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, etc. R\u00e9gis is also passionate about jazz and has been invited by St\u00e9phane Grapelli to participate in several jazz concerts with his band.","accomplishments":[{"text_accomplishments":"Professor of violin and chamber music at the Conservatoire national sup\u00e9rieur de musique de Paris from 1985 to 2011"},{"text_accomplishments":"Solo violin of the National Orchestra of France from 1977 to 1986"}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salineacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/teacher\/4003","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salineacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/teacher"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salineacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/teacher"}],"acf:term":[{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"instrument","href":"https:\/\/www.salineacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/instrument\/45"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salineacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4003"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"instrument","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salineacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/instrument?post=4003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
