The Wonder Teacher It's him that does his own musical arrangements by himself. He plans everything in minute detail because, on top of his talent, he is extremely perfectionist. Honore's fame goes beyond frontiers, as goes some of the pupils' he's been teaching all the way through his career. Eddy Chassagnon, musical teacher at Montelimar, who plays in Fernand Bonaz well known orchestra, has been one of his pupils. We don't omit Jean-Marie Lacroix, teacher, composer (he wrote the famous waltz "Fleur de Printemps"); Michel Pallarès, music teacher, Europa Cup winner and many other awards winners... Now working as soloists or in orchestras. In the music schools of the surrounding areas, he's nicknamed the Wonder Teacher for his abilities to train the bests. Olivier de SERRE |

For a stolen angel... Honoré Pesenti heats up the accordion! You can call him anytime. He is always available, in particular for the good causes. Honoré Pesenti, this accordion virtuoso, music teacher in the conservatory of Pierrelatte, doesn't content himself with training good pupils, to make National awards and cups winners of them. He uses to work overtime for people without considering holidays nor fees. He only wants to please it. We have to admit it's a rare quality, but he's got it for real. That's it. You will be told about it as well around the old people's home or in the district fairs. For example, tomorrow, on saturday, he will be Monclus village dance main host (Gard). Why? Simply because a Parisian lady who spends her holidays there for twenty years, Mrs Yvonne Ferrié, has called him for one specific reason : to replace the stolen angel that was previously placed above the fountain of the medieval village, with its twelth century donjon that belonged to a family from Ardeche called Vogue. So, as Mrs Ferrié knew well our good Honoré, that used to be agricultural labourer in Montclus, before being a music teacher, now you know it all ! And we wouln't be much surprised if people from Pierrelatte, some Honoré friends or acquaintances, would find themselves back on the dance floor, whirling to the sounds of his triplets. Such a beautiful program indeed with a specific goal for the sake of a small village inhabitants that've never had that much. R. G. |
He has released his first LP One day, I know my tunes will be played Look: it took a lot of time for Bach or Rossini to be heard... Honoré Pesenti is an (almost) happy musician, and he will be happy for good when he'll hear people hum or whisle his tunes with a genuine pleasure ! Robert Gonnet 75 A second LP The greatest accordion classics can be heard on it : "La Reine des Musettes", "Gallito", "Perle de Cristal", "Brise Napolitaine" or the "Barbier de Séville" Robert Gonnet 75 And so many singles ... and edited scores !

Paris 1963 On stage Sometimes the associations, the cabarets called and still calls him to make public listen to his catchy tunes, worthy of his virtuosity. Numbers of press articles concerning Honoré are written in glowing and well-deserved terms. We must remember that glory often comes with hard and long-term working, and that Honoré Pesenti has mixed his gift for music with an interesting and, in many ways, artistic career. |
Pierrelatte 75 The CD Jean-Claude Pesenti says that his father has got a considerable repertoire and that his new 1999 and 2000 compositions have been inspired by a visual passion: astronomy. That explains the design of the CD jacket. The production of this new CD has been perfectly studied, managed by Jean Claude who has set up the Espace Plaisirs company. Many informations has been written on the jacket, including details concerning the tracks titles (Hamal : a satellite turning in the Aries Constellation). Honoré Pesenti is proud to present us his compilation: he has been working hard on it (arrangements, remastering...). Ph. MARI |
Bourg Saint Andéol 2001 In Project Many other CDs are in project and, considering the importance of Honoré's honours list, we all hope he'll do a CD for each musical style: classical, jazz, mainstream ...
