Pierre Fournier appeared with a Miremont cello, which had extensive painted decoration on its back, at a Bach Suites festival in Toronto about 1979 or ‘80. A Canadian cellist, who also owned a Miremont, spoke with him backstage about these instruments; Fournier said, “Mais, gardez-le précieusement!” (I don’t speak French and am an old man trusting my memory here) to attest his very high regard for this maker’s work. Its sound in a hall was certainly that of the finest echelon of cellos; it seemed quite reasonable that Fournier would much prefer to tour with the Miremont than with his Matteo Goffriller.
