About
"There is one thing I am sure of: she moves you and enchants you beyond belief. But then we all know that. What I also know is that her voice, and her song, go with her alone to a place from which none of us return unscathed. So what is this place? A place that goes back beyond her classical studies to where she first heard the church music of her childhood? I have dived deep into her repertory, her arrangements, her harmonic universe and her story too. This project is about offering her the voice of my cello, supported and accompanied by the multi-faceted musicianship of Bruno Fontaine, and the infinite poetry of Laurent Kraif’s sounds."
