Concert poétique

Texts by Hugo, Prévert, Bobin
Original Music by Eric Breton

In a resolutely modern approach to melody, guided only by his inspiration, Eric Breton lets the text speak for itself. Hugo, Bobin, Prévert lend their words and the music flows of it's own accord, natural and obvious. Odile Bruckert's serves this casue admirably, harmonious and subtle, from time to time mingling her virtuoso flute. The omnipresent piano, upholds, comments et completes le whole.

Daily (except the 24th and 25th)
