But here it is a much more intimate Naouri, the lover of melodies by Faure, Debussy and Poulenc, who invites us to a rendezvous: 'Here is a repertory I've been performing for more than thirty years, sometimes not without a certain frustration: for how can you achieve the intimacy suggested by a poem like Baudelaire's Le Jet d'eau- it almost pillow talk- when the vocal style forces you to \"project\" the voice? Although classical art song authorizes you to sing piano or pianissimo, it's still inconceivable to whisper in the listener's ear. To whisper, you need a microphone, and there we leave the world of the melodie and enter the world of \"chanson,\" as that term was understood at the beginning of the radio era. I had already been thinking about these questions for a few years when I met the jazz guitarist Frederic Loiseau. We started off our collaboration with Les Berceaux, a melodie that Yves Montand had already sung in a \"chanson\" style. Encouraged by the result, we looked for other songs that we felt could benefit from this intimate treatment.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Ici-bas !
