I'm now in contact with Christine Jolivet-Erlih, the daughter of Andre
Jolivet.  She told me that she has recently contacted Warner to convince
them to reissue Jolivet's Erato recordings made during the 1960s and
1970s.  The 100th anniversary of his birth (2005) is coming fast, and
it seems appropriate to reissue these recordings - especially the
concertos!  - made by people such as Laskine, Rostropovitch, Rampal,
Maurice Andre, jolivet himself and others...

You can find information about these recordings here:

So far, Madame Jolivet has failed to convince Matthew Cosgrove, the
General Magager of Warner Classics, to reissue these historical recordings.
And now, it's your turn to help her!  If you do care about Jolivet's
music or the recording legacy of the artists mentioned above, please
write an e-mail message to Mr.  Cosgrove's assistant to ask for the
reissue of these recordings on CD...

Jolivet fans of the world, unite!:-)
