Maurice Gendron (26 December 1920, near Nice – 20 August 1990, Grez-sur-Loing) was a French cellist, conductor and teacher.
[13] He also made a famous recording (earning an Edison Award) of J. S. Bach's solo cello suites.
[14] Gendron played with many musical stars of his time, including Benjamin Britten, Dinu Lipatti[15][16] and Rudolf Serkin.
Richard Hillier, the headmaster at YMS, has said he is aware of the allegations but that according to school documents, no concerns were raised about Gendron's behaviour.
His approach to cello playing is summed up in his book "L'Art du Violoncelle", written in collaboration with Walter Grimmer and published in 1999 by Schott [ED 9176; ISMN M-001-12682-3].
