Kemmler Pas Fait Pour Briller

Olivier Vernet was born in Vichy , France . His early passion for the organ leads him to become a student of Gaston Litaize at the National Regional Conservatory in St Maur des Fossés where he won 5 Gold Medals and the Concert Diploma with honors.

A Classy, Eclectic Album, "Singing Paris" is 20 Years of Pop the French Way. If the World Had Its Sights Turned Toward England Between 1955 and 1975, Yet in France the Musical Panorama was No Less, Satisfying, Shifted and Free. The Best Way to Illustrate this Frenzy is the Music that Came from Paris Apart for Big French Songs, There Isn't Much of a Welcome for Anything Else. Those who Are Skeptical Are Going to have to Change their Minds! Wild Compositions, Lyrics Attempting to Be Filled with Humour and Mockery, Adapting to Overseas Success with True Musical Jewels, the Common Denominator of These 24 Songs is their Modernity. They Come from Artists who Can't Be Ignored, Cinema Stars Pushing the Lighthearted Songs, Distinguished People who Had Previously Been Unknown. Far from Being Just Another Black and White Retro Compilation, "Singing Paris" Comes to You in Full Technicolor!

"Percé jusques au fond du coeur" ("Pierced to my heart's depths") is a tragic proclamation of Le Cid's voice, at last put to music by "Mr Charpentier, famed for a thousand works that charmed all of France". This collection of courtly arias, serious songs and drinking songs, played both at the Court of Louis XV and in the inner circles of the French bourgeoisie, is a marvellous maze on the Map of Tendre developed by Charpentier, a poet-musician whose sophistication vies with an irresistible sense of theatricality! Under the direction of Stéphane Fuget, the cream of French vocalists restores the original aura of these gems, with glittering ornamentation.

Je ne sais pas si vous avez déjà vu Alain Souchon sur scène? Si c'est le cas, ces enregistrements vous rappeleront la grâce, la subtilité et la tendresse qu'il déploie avec tant de naturel. Il faut le voir pour le croire : une frêle silhouette qui s'avance… et la magie commence. Souchon remplit la scène, vous emmène partout, il chante, il parle, il saute même, on se retrouve dans son monde, imaginaire ou réel, mais toujours poétique. Depuis près de 20 ans, beaucoup de ses chansons sont devenues de vrais classiques, indémodables.
