バイオグラフィー

Paul de Senneville (30 July 1933 – 23 June 2023) was a French composer and music producer. De Senneville began his career as a journalist working for French newspapers such as France Soir. Later, he became a television program producer as well. In 1988 he created Delphine Software International, a video game development company. As a director of a record company, Delphine Records, he started a new career on the basis of his passion in life: music. After writing his first song in 1962, he contributed music for songs in many movie soundtracks produced by French companies such as Universe Galaxie and Daber Films. In 1968, while managing Michel Polnareff's career, he met Olivier Toussaint, with the two later forming a successful songwriting partnership. Their songs were recorded by major French artists such as: Mireille Mathieu, Michèle Torr, Christophe, Hervé Vilard, Dalida, Petula Clark and Claude François. This partnership accounts for over 100 million records sold internationally. Partnering with lyricist Jean-Loup Dabadie, he wrote Tous les bateaux, tous les oiseaux, a French hit recorded by Michel Polnareff. Very soon, the pair got involved in production. They started the group Pop Concerto Orchestra, on which Toussaint sang lead. Soon after, they launched their second group Anarchic System that produced Rock & roll. Over a period of 5 years, the two groups sold millions of records. The success of "Dolannes Mélodie" launched the career of trumpet player Jean-Claude Borelly. The song reached #1 on the charts of France, Switzerland, Belgium and became a Top 10 hit in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands. It reached first place in South America and later in Japan. In 1978, Paul was represented by both France and Monaco in the Eurovision Song Contest 1978 by his composition, Les jardins de Monaco as a duet. In 1976, he and Olivier were nominated for the prestigious award César Award for Best Original Music (César is the French equivalent of the Oscar) for their movie scores in the film "Un linceul n'a pas de poches". In the early 1970s, Paul and Olivier set up their own record label, Delphine Records named after Paul's first daughter, Delphine Deschodt. Delphine is a leading French music exporter and specialist in instrumental music. Besides Jean-Claude Borelly, they discovered French instrumentalists such as Richard Clayderman (1976), Nicolas de Angelis (1981) and Diego Modena (1991). De Senneville and Toussaint collaborated with famous French arrangers such as: Gérard Salesses, Hervé Roy, Bruno Ribera, and Marc Minier. Their main music productions were devoted to Clayderman's music. "Ballade pour Adeline", "A Comme Amour" and "Lettre à ma Mère" are the biggest hits in Clayderman's recordings. These melodies were originally composed by de Senneville. He has composed around 400 melodies for Clayderman. Toussaint and Jean Baudlot are his composition partners. Delphine group represents 15 companies as an advertising film and clip production company, an agency for advertising and casting actors and a casting agency as well as two modelling agencies. They have 4 recording studios in their "hotel particulier". ... Source: Article "Paul de Senneville" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.
