Lavilliers and the major orchestras met regularly. We remember his tribute to Léo Ferré at the Théâtre du Chatelet in 2006 with the Pasdeloup symphony orchestra…
Just a year ago, he gave a unique concert at the Maison de la Radio with the Radio France orchestra. The experience made the singer want to continue the thread of this evening by recording part of his repertoire with a large classical orchestra. After “Under a huge sun”, conceived in the middle of a pandemic and at a distance from his musicians, the singer wanted to reconnect with the spirit of “old-fashioned” recordings, finding himself right in the middle of his musicians for the recording an entire album. This without nostalgia, rather with the spirit of the passer that characterizes him, as if he was also telling us a little about the history of recorded music through this gesture.
Accompanied by the composer and arranger Cyrille Aufort, a symphony orchestra of more than fifty musicians, and four traveling companions (Xavier Tribolet on keyboards, Antoine Reininger on bass, Michaël Lapie on drums and Vincent Faucher on guitar), Bernard Lavilliers invites us to witness the metamorphosis of 14 of his great songs…
