Really enjoying Bruno Mantoviani's Abstract for cello and orchestra so I thought I'd start a thread about what French composers are up to now.

(The conductor there, Pascal Rophé, is fabulous I think - clarity and colour.)

Excellent - a counterpart to my French interwar composers thread of a few years ago - so, thanks for this. Richard Barrett linked from here to some interesting French latter-day avant-gardistes around that time; I'll see if I can find the youtube links.

Just to be topical, may I mention Olivier Latry, organist of Nôtre Dame, Paris. Apparently giving a concert this evening at Westminster Abbey.

A performer and improviser, he has composed Salve Regina, which I am currently getting into::
