Gerard Depardieu

Gerard Depardieu talks about his time with Dr. Tomatis

 

In this video, Depardieu talks  about the therapy he had with Dr. Tomatis.  I always found this to be a fascinating story.

The French actor had problems with hearing and speech.  He needed treatment to overcome these difficulties when he was  a teenager.

Dr. Tomatis also helped the actor when he went to America, as he needed to understand English.

§

I first read about this in’ Vogue’.

Depardieu had made the film ‘Green Card’, and many people were  fascinated with this new actor.

§

Dr. Tomatis believed in the power of classical music.

I had not considered classical music as a source of healing before.

From that day, I played classical music, and I believe that it has helped me in my life,..to remain calm, but also I now hear more sounds and notes than I did.

This is the gift of classical music, to introduce us to new sounds.
