FONTAMAR CONSORT
PARIS-PIAF
With Paris-Piaf, Fontamar and Langevin offer a vibrant yet uncluttered reinterpretation of the great repertoire of post-war French chanson.
Focusing on the masterpieces of Edith Piaf's unforgettable career - not forgetting those of Aznavour and Montand - the album brings together the spirit of the songs in a dense and often moving dialogue between voice and piano.
On its release, Paris-Piaf earned the duo unanimous recognition from the italian press, before taking them from Venice to Rome, from Bologna to Lecce, to the finest stages for a long series of concerts whose success has not waned since their debut.
"Paris-Piaf is a jewel in sensitivity, measure and delicacy."
