Marlene Dietrich

Wenn ich mir was wünschen dürfte

“Dietrich sings in a simple and relaxed way but nevertheless with a very unique, distinctive style! “I shall like being a little bit happy because too much I shall be nostalgic of my misfortune.” Darker than the new wave ! ”

Bade Gulam Ali Khan  

Raga Bhairavi

“The teacher looks for the same detachment, abandonment in the thumri style (a lighter part of indian classical music), here the rhythm, the text or the notes are one and only and the duration is not limited to 3 minutes… FUCK.”

Nelson Cavaquinho 

Pranto de poeta

“Another detachment and as to Bade Gulam Ali Khan the voice of a charabi (alcoholic), but in the bar of Mangueira (One of the main samba schools) everything hangs on to the voice of the poet.”

Nathan Milstein

Andante de la 2 sonate de JS Bach

“The melodic line is sublime and nevertheless so simple.”

Mission Ogooué Congo

Chant magique en partant pour la chasse au filet (solo femme)

“Sir A Didier recorded this magnificent singer in 1948 but he did not deign to write his name (shame to the Musée de l’Homme but respect for the recording). The precision and simplicity of the voice is just jaw-dropping.”
