Pierre Capdevielle (1 February 1906 – 9 July 1969) was a French conductor, composer, and music critic.
During the 1930s, Capdevielle began working as an opera conductor with theatres in the French provinces.
In 1942 he became a professor of chamber music at the Conservatoire de Paris and also served on the school's jury of examiners.
He formed a special chamber orchestra at the RTF in 1952 with whom he conducted concerts on tour throughout Europe up through 1964.
[1] His entry in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians describes his music as "the expression of a stormy, romantic temperament, moderated somewhat in the manner of Albert Roussel", noting his like for literary allusions, as in the rhythmically complex overture Le pédant joue of 1943 which calls on both orchestral and local percussion instruments to evoke the subject matter of the comedy by Cyrano de Bergerac.
