Seven songs remixed over nine tracks from Kylie Minogue's early catalog, this collection will satisfy serious fans of her work. Those more unfamiliar, or those looking for certain single tracks from this era, should stick to her first two albums, or a greatest hits collection.
It wouldn't be exactly accurate to call Paris Combo a throwback to the 1930s, despite singer Belle du Berry's jazzy, period-perfect crooning style and the fact that guitarist Potzi coifs himself in explicit homage to Django Reinhardt. But it wouldn't be exactly inaccurate, either, and there's nothing wrong with that. David Lews' trumpet snakes and sizzles, almost always with a mute, through the songs' decorously swinging melodies while du Berry drops her lyrics in an expressive but rather dry voice and drummer François Jeannin and bassist Mano Razanajato keep the grooves powerful but light.
Sabine Devieilhe, the young French lyric-coloratura soprano, is a singer “whose upper register, like her virtuosity, appears limitless, while her verbal sense and dramatic engagement are breathtaking”. A prizewinner in the 2013 Victoires de la Musique Classique, France’s equivalent of the Grammys, she has recorded a ravishing programme of excerpts from operas by Rameau with conductor Alexis Kossenko and his ensemble Les Ambassadeurs.
The prodigious Norwegian treble Aksel Rykkvin returns to disc on Signum with a new disc of Baroque works, accompanying the MIN Ensemble under conductor and trumpeter Mark Bennett and their artistic director Lazar Miletic.
Partir (Departure) Text, music, arrangements and interpretations of traditional songs by Elina Duni. We are all departing in one way or another, bound to be torn away from what we love, and this is the point of origin of this particular creation. Throughout the course of “Partir” (nine sketches accompanied by songs in nine different languages), we travel through the deepest abysses of pain, with the heart rough like a desert, to finally arrive at the ultimate refuge, that is, joy. It is through her voice, accompanied in turns by guitar, piano and percussion, that this journey is able to become both singular and universal.

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.
