Loved his playing on the live version of Kobaia. I actually found one of solo albums at a thrift store. Much better than the ratings reflected. RIP ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

Oh man  I was just digging his playing on the many albums he contributed to. Sad loss. He was about 20 when he performed on the Magma Live LP. R.I.P. Didier. |

We just watched a few videos with him on YouTube and will listen to the
Magma live album later. Great violinist; he will be sorely missed.
R.I.P. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

I enjoyed his work with Pierre Moerlen's Gong "Downwind" album. We're losing too many of the guys who defined the genre and set the bar so high. I fear the next 5 years are going to be brutal... At least they leave behind timeless pieces of art that will be enjoyed for generations to come. Not many people can do that. |

A tremendous loss to progressive music. When it comes to the "big four" violinists (Ponty, Lockwood, Way, Jobson), I think Didier was probably the best, at least on record, next to JLP. Didier's New World and Surya are required listening. RIP! ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |
