So Romantic !
French opera arias by Daniel-François-Esprit Auber, Benjamin Godard, Ambroise Thomas, François-Adrien Boieldieu, Fromental Halévy, Louis Clapisson, Gaetano Donizetti, Charles Gounod, Charles Luce-Varlet, Georges Bizet, Théodore Dubois, Charles Silver, Leo Delibes, Camille Saint-Saens. With Cyrille Dubois (tenor), the National Orchestra of Lille, Pierre Dumoussaud (conductor).
In the light tenor category, Cyrille Dubois is a heavyweight. Hear that the French singer has established himself as a champion in this repertoire of 19th century French comic operae century, to which this disc offers a beautiful tribute, with a large number of unreleased tracks. The program covers almost a century of creation. There are familiar names like The White Lady, of Boieldieu, Daughter of the Regiment, by Donizetti, Mignon, of Thomas, or Lakme, by Delibes. Others are almost unknown, either the author or the work. So La Barcarolle, of Auber, of Myriane, by Charles Silver, by Gibby the bagpipes, by Louis Clapisson, Pedro de Zalamea, of Godard, or Queen’s Musketeers, of Halevy. This dive into a world with the scent of yesteryear would remain anecdotal without the magnificent talent of Cyrille Dubois, whose colorful timbre, supple and precise vocal line, admirably projected breath are coupled with a delicate art of expression, which whether it’s about singing the charms of nature or the delicious torments of the soul. The musician has an exceptional intelligibility in declamation, capable of making any bluette fascinating. With nuance and finesse, the Orchester National de Lille, under the virtuoso direction of Pierre Dumoussaud, brings more than flawless support to the voice, the companionship of a true duettist.

- Camille Bertault
Good morning my love
She goes towards pop slightly tinged with electro with the title Good morning my love, which begins the album of the same title. Camille Bertault then advances into the lands of jazz (Acrescreen, A grain of sand, See the sea…). Further on, towards a rap form with African percussion (Dodo), turn to see Brazilian popular music (Conne, finely), evolves towards a soaring way with the support of organ pads (Colette)… Velocity there, without one feeling a desire for demonstration, tenderness here, joy in expression elsewhere. She wrote – her texts are full of images, inventive formulas – and composed ten songs, and, in conclusion, My Fav’ Things is a French adaptation of My Favorite Things, of Rodgers and Hammerstein, where his voices mingle. All this in a combination of elegance and passion. First-rate companions: Fady Farah on keyboards, Christophe Minck on double bass, Minino Garay on percussion and, as a guest, Julien Alour on trumpet. Sylvain Siclier
