Piero Coppola (11 October 1888 – 17 March 1971) was an Italian conductor, pianist and composer.
[1] That year he heard Debussy conduct his own compositions Ibéria and Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune in Turin: an experience that "had a decisive influence on his career".
Between 1923 and 1934 he was the artistic director of La Voix de son Maître, the French branch of The Gramophone Company.
[6] His recording of Ravel's Le tombeau de Couperin won the Grand Prix du Disque in 1932.
The article went on to describe Coppola as "[a] very strong musician, [who] loves to translate musically certain grotesque and gruesome poses which he succeeds in making very impressive".
