Roger Cortet was a French flautist, associated with the French wind-playing tradition and chamber music.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in the Quintette Instrumental à Vent de Paris recordings, including Poulenc’s Sextet and other French wind repertory.

Cortet’s musicianship belongs to a world where colour, articulation and ensemble elegance are everything, and where the flute line must sparkle without becoming ornamental fluff.

His page is justified by secure identity and chamber context. Cortet gives the French wind shelf a bright, agile voice.
