Following this, Gagnon went solo, and traveled to England where he recorded with the London Baroque Orchestra. From there he skipped over to Germany to work with the Hamburg Philharmonic Orchestra. Known specifically as a classical musician for the majority of his early career, Gagnon decided to delve into contemporary pop with 1976's 'Neiges' which proved he had a knack for melody within short compositions. The album won him a Juno Award. He also managed success in the US despite his French roots because the majority of his commercial works were instrumental pieces.
