Gabriel Bouillon (1898-1984) was a French violinist, conductor and teacher, associated with the French violin tradition and with important Parisian musical institutions.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears with Alfred Cortot and Jacques Thibaud in Bach and Schumann concerto recordings from the 1920s and 1930s.

Bouillon’s role here belongs to the French chamber-orchestral world around Cortot and the École Normale circle. Such performances depend on elegance, discipline and stylistic tact.

His page is justified by secure identity and by the historical importance of the musical company he keeps. Bouillon adds a French violin line behind the Cortot glow.
