Louis Cazette

Louis Cazette, born 1887, died April 29th, 1922 in Paris. Made his debut 1920 at the Paris Opéra-Comique, and his career was very promising. He died from tetanus following an on-stage accident that had him wounded when the point of André Baugé's (actually of course edgeless) rapier broke away. Baugé, whose fault by no means it was, felt guilty for the rest of his life. This link has further biographical information, Cazette's pictures and his discography.

I wish to thank Robert Schlesinger for the notes and recording.
