Le Chanteur

Description

For the first time in his career, Roberto Alagna dedicates an entire album to the great and beautiful French song. Passionate about world music, the artist offers us this time a true declaration of love for the French musical heritage:
“Le Chanteur” allows us to discover it differently, through all the richness of genres and various foreign influences that have shaped the identity of this repertoire.
Through a very personal production - between swing, jazz, gypsy jazz, lament, waltz, or tango - the album also conveys the tenor's passion for characterful music, full of vitality and feelings. A wonderful ode to the unforgettable melodies that we know and have all hummed, as well as to their illustrious interpreters and composers! br>A record like a celebration, where we find among others "La Chanson des vieux amants", "Padam, Padam", "Les feuilles mortes", "C'est un mauvais garçon", "Mon pot' le gitan", "Nuages", "Adieu mon pays", "Domino"... A gem!
"This is the first time I am making an album entirely dedicated to French song [...] with a nuance. In the background of this repertoire, I wanted to highlight all the richness of genres and musical influences, more or less distant, that are now an integral part of the identity and musical heritage of France [...] This foray outside my usual lyrical and classical repertoire, into a genre where I am perhaps less expected, has a special flavor. […] In any case, this is a record in which I hope the public can perceive the infinite pleasure I have in traversing styles, in discovering, thanks to and through my instrument which is the voice, my passion and love for music and sharing them with the greatest number."
