Gilbert Coursier (born in Cavaillon) was a French horn player.
Coursier studied at the Conservatoire de Paris with Jean Devemy.
A member of the Quintette à vent français [fr] for 20 years,[2] he participated in about fifty recordings, alongside Georges Barboteu and Pierre Delvescovo,[3] most of them for the French firm Erato.
His most famous recording remains Joseph Haydn's Concerto for Two Horns in E flat with Georges Barboteu and the Jean-François Paillard chamber orchestra.
This is the only recording in the phonographic history, as the technical difficulties are so difficult for both horns.
