Fournier, Pierre. (1906–1986). Moving Signed Autograph Quotation.. The great French cellist has penned and signed a moving message about music on an autograph album page: "Il faut aimer la Musique comme le seul lieu spirituel qui devrait unir et rapprocher tous les hommes de coeur et de bonne volonte" [One must appreciate/love music as the sole spiritual outlet which unites and brings together all men of heart and good will].
Fournier was known in his lifetime as "the aristocrat of cellists," because of his fine lyrical playing and for his impeccable artistic sensitivity. Virgil Thomson wrote in the New York Herald Tribune, "I do not know his superior among living cellists, nor any...who give one more profoundly the feeling of having been present at music-making."
