Académie Charles Cros

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from L'Académie Charles Cros)

The Académie Charles-Cros, (Charles Cros Academy) is an organization in France that acts as an intermediary between government cultural policy makers and professionals in music and the recording industry.

The academy is composed of fifty members specializing in music criticism, sound recording, and culture. It was founded in 1947 by Roger Vincent with Armand Panigel, José Bruyr, Antoine Golea, Franck Ténot, and Pierre Brive – critics and recording specialists - and lead by musicologist Marc Pincherle. It was named in honor of Charles Cros (1842-1888), inventor and poet (friend of Arthur Rimbaud and Verlaine) who was one of the pioneers of sound recording.

Since 1948, the Académie Charles-Cros has annually awarded the Grand Prix du Disque to recognize outstanding achievements in recorded music and musical scholarship. Prizes are awarded in the field of popular song, classical music, jazz, and other categories of recorded music, as well as for outstanding books of musicology.

The academy continues to stay abreast of advances in technology, from the development of 78 RPM gramophone records to CDs and DVDs today.
