Leo Ferre

When Grammy-winning artist Petula Clark met poet-songwriter-singer Rod McKuen in France during the 1960s, they became fast friends. Petula, of course, was one of the biggest music stars in the world and in the midst of a long string of hits in both English and French. For his part, McKuen was a huge fan of Petula, naming her his favorite female vocalist; and by the mid-1970s, they had performed together on several television programs. Inspired by Petula’s recorded versions of his dramatic environmental anthem "The Wind of Change" and the tender ballad "I Think of You," McKuen resolved to put together an entire album of his compositions for Petula just like he had done with Frank Sinatra on his 1969 release A Man Alone.

Le fils de Jean Dréjac, Frédéric Brun, a retracé la route enchantée de son père dans un coffret intitulé Juke-box troubadour, titre d’un texte écrit sur une musique de Léo Ferré. Ce coffret, tel un juke-box, réunit un nombre important d’interprètes et des chansons aux multiples facettes. Il a été divisé en trois périodes.

Questo libro è il resoconto di una serie di conversazioni nelle quali Gianni Mura ha raccontato a Marco Manzoni cinquant'anni di giornalismo, cinquant'anni di incontri, cinquant'anni di vita. Il leitmotiv (che fa il verso all'epo, la droga più utilizzata nel ciclismo) è "epu", vale a dire etica, passione, umanità. Un acronimo che racchiude l'essenza dello sport. E non solo dello sport. Il bel calcio, il ciclismo epico, l'impresa del più debole nascono da lì. Come la bellezza dello sport: una bellezza che è insieme tecnica, estetica ed etica.

The great musical comeback of Liane Foly. Accompanied by a big band, Liane Foly returns to her first love, Jazz, and makes swing some of the most beautiful French songs. "Crooneuse", her 9th studio album, finally marks the return of Liane Foly to the song. She has chosen to repeat eleven titles that she particularly likes, in an eclectic repertoire that goes from rock to variety, but interpreting them with a voluntarily jazz tone, while swing and elegance, all impeccably served by a big band.

Lavilliers and the major orchestras work regularly. We remember his tribute to Léo Ferré at the Théâtre du Chatelet in 2006 with the Pasdeloup symphony orchestra… Just a year ago, he gave a unique concert at the Maison de la Radio with the Radio France orchestra. The experience made the singer want to continue the thread of this evening by recording part of his repertoire with a large classical orchestra.
