Maurice Baquet, l'Accordé
At once a high-level musician, member of the October Group, fantasist, man of the theater, film actor, mountaineer, skier, Maurice Baquet, always on the move, articulated his life around two common threads: the cello and the mountains. He once defined himself as a "cellist-skier," "all alone" in this category, which prompted James Couttet, world ski champion, to say: "Of all the skiers I know, he is the best cellist." Echoing this, Professor at the Conservatoire National Supérieur, André Navarra, added: "Of all the cellists I know, he is the best skier." Throughout his career, both diverse and coherent, Baquet helped to give a joyful and artistic image of the mountains. To tell us about Maurice and all his adventures, who better than his alter-ego: Cérébos, this faithful cello who has never left his side. From Paris to Chamonix, from the stage to the granite slabs and snowy slopes, let's follow Cérébos, cross the century and above all... smile. —Seven Doc
