Jean Morel (1903-1975) was a French conductor, active in opera and symphonic repertory in Europe and the United States. He taught at the Juilliard School and influenced later generations of conductors.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Gounod’s Faust from the Metropolitan Opera, with Jussi Björling, Cesare Siepi and Elisabeth Söderström.

Morel’s conducting sits naturally in French opera, where pacing, vocal line and orchestral colour must serve theatre without thickening it.

His page is justified by career standing and repertory context. Morel gives the Faust shelf a French podium accent with Met polish.
