I should add that that the correct spelling of his name is Ophee. His publishing company is named Editions Orphee, resulting in eternal confusion
He hated that!

He made some great contributions to the guitar literature not least of which is advocating and publishing and even commissioning works for Russian 7 string guitar. He also published some lute editions. I am grateful to him as the publisher of 5 of my works. I believe Matanya had the rare distinction of being kicked off this list.
