Chants sacrés

Description

Because she is Greek, because the blood of an ancient and founding people flows in her veins, Nana Mouskouri seems to have inherited a wholly natural sacredness. This collection of sacred airs that the singer offers today is a journey. Let us interrupt our mad rush for a moment and open our souls to these musical stopovers. A song rises. The murmur of the world. Her voice, complex and multiple, is at once of metal and crystal: the bronze of statues, the stone of temples and, at their feet, winding, the clear water of springs. For the duration of a song, the singer revives with the touch of her lips worlds that one thought buried, she blows on the embers of timeless emotions and gives us back a sacred fire by which we warm ourselves and are enlightened. Her voice is lyrical without being academic, melancholic without being nostalgic. Nana Mouskouri sang, sings and will sing, simply because she touches our pure and profound humanity, without the artifice of fashion or trend. She does not merely capture the spirit of the times, it is time itself, from yesterday to tomorrow, that she embraces. Some imagine her light, she is the exact opposite, constantly in search of meaning and depth, she loves heavy, full words that say a great deal about the truths of the world.
