Jules Gressier

In early 1926 Gressier conducted Le Barbier de Séville, Véronique and Miss Heylett in Toulouse with the orchestra of the Variétés and soloists Mathieu-Lutz, Foix and René Gerbert.

[2] He conducted the local premieres of Chanson d'amour[3] and Ciboulette in Toulouse in 1926-27, both with Andrée Verly in the title role.

by Louis Urgel in February 1931, and Un p'tit bout d'femme by René Mercier in 1936, all at the Théâtre de la Gaîté Lyrique in Paris, with which he was associated in the 1930s.

Gressier conducted most of a festival concert in honour of Gustave Charpentier in September 1937 at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris with excerpts from Le Couronnement de la Muse du Peuple and selections from Louise (act 3 of which was conducted by the composer).

[9] A comparison of a modern recording of Les P’tites Michu by Max Loppert commented that the 1954 French EMI recording of highlights was "conducted with inimitable flair and delicacy by Jules Gressier", and of a 1992 two-CD compilation of three works by the composer with Gressier "the whole of which adds up to a masterclass in Messager style".
