Michel Berger Part 1

Michel Jean Hamburger (known by his stage name Michel Berger) is a French singer-pianist-composer. His career began slowly in the 1960s thanks to “Salut les copains” a radio variety show .

Despite its very small beginnings in the world of French song, Michel is present on the “Photo du siècle ”

( at the end of the fourth row from the top of the photo with a tomato red sweater)

Struggling to find success, Michel wrote two albums for his muse and partner at the time; the singer Véronique Sanson (she owes him three of her greatest hits AND the start of her successful career)

Unfortunately for Michel, he unintentionally self-sabotages his relationship with Véronique… by taking her to see Stephen Stills (member of the group Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young) at the Olympia.

Véronique and Stefan will simply fall in love with each other! And in 1973, Véronique abandoned Michel without a word of farewell to go live in the United States with her paramour.

This brutal breakup will hurt and inspire Michel Berger who will give birth to an album entitled “Cœur brisé” ( an album which does not exude the joy of living )

He is experiencing another long period of artistic desert, which did not prevent him from writing in 1974 one of the greatest songs in the repertoire of the singer Françoise Hardy :

Slowly Michel will end up getting back on track with his third and fourth albums which sell well enough to shed light on his musical identity in the eyes of the public

But what really changed his life was his meeting with his future wife and mother of his children, the singer France Gall. With whom he will work as a duo for years

France Gall seeing her husband playing the piano and writing some text: Are you writing songs to Véronique Sanson again?

Michel Berger (at moment writing Serais-tu là ?): Babou, it's not what you think!

Cécile McLorin Salvant Album Review: Mélusine

(Nonesuch)

BY JORDAN MAINZER

On her latest album Mélusine, jazz vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant is, as always, up for something ambitious, new, and obscure. This time around, she toes the line between mythology and identity, using personal history and relationships to bring wondrous stories to the forefront. Consisting of five originals and nine interpretations, delivered in mostly French but a little Occitan, English, and Haitian Kreyol, Mélusine is--per usual for Salvant--musically stunning, juxtaposing her generational vocal talents with a monumental array of players. That she manages to make disconnected influences and rhythms sing, and weave songs from the 12th century to a 70′s Canadian rock musical all into the same character-based story, is all the more impressive.

Yes, the story of Mélusine revolves around a woman who turns into a half-snake each Saturday because of a curse her mother put on her. You can choose to follow the story that Salvant provides, but the album has layers of rewards otherwise. Salvant blends cabaret jazz with a bossa nova lounge sway on an adaptation of Charles Trenet’s “La route enchantée”. She combines jazz and traditionally Haitian rhythms on her original “Doudou”. She floats atop the slinky bass and pattering percussion of “Fenestra”, auto-tuning her voice at the moment you least expect it. Sonically, Mélusine is anything but traditional; the two tracks that bookend the more classical title track consist of McLorin’s vocals over synth textures, an effective manifestation of the spirits she sings about.

McLorin clearly has a personal connection to the stories she tells here. She’s talked about the wide variety of music her parents exposed her to as a child growing up in Miami, her Haitian father and French mother playing everything from Haitian music and jazz to hip hop and classical. Delivered in Occitan, her version of Veronique Sanson’s “Le Temps Est Assassin”, a duet with her life partner, pianist Sullivan Fortner, is an inspired version of the French pop standout. Dark piano ballad “Petite musique terriene”, from Canadian rock musical Starmania, is a song McLorin found out about from her mom. And then there’s closer “Dame Iseut”, translated from Occitan into Haitian Kreyol with her father. These biographic touches are, like the context of the myth, just part of the story of yet another expert album from Salvant. That the record shares its gifts from multiple angles is a testament to the artist herself and how lucky we are to have her.

'Mélusine' features a mix of five originals and interpretations of nine songs, dating as far back as the 12th century, mostly sung in French along with Occitan, English, and Haitian Kreyòl, that tell the folk tale of Mélusine, a woman who turns into a half-snake each Saturday after a childhood curse by her mother. Mélusine agrees to marry Raymondin on the condition that he never see her on Saturdays. He agrees but is later convinced by his brother to break his promise, piercing his wife’s door with a sword and finding her naked in the bath, half snake, half woman. When she catches him spying on her, she turns into a dragon and flies away, only to reappear every time one of her descendants is on their deathbed.

D'UN FEU SECRET

(Michel Lambert, air de cour, 1660)

D'un feu secret je me sens consumer

Sans pouvoir soulager le mal qui me possède;

Je pourrois bien guérir si je cessois d'aymer,

Mais j'ayme mieux le mal que le remède.

Quand je mourrois, pourroit-on me blasmer ?

Qui commence d’aymer , ne doit-il pas poursuivre ?

Quand on sçaura, Philis, que j'ay cessé d'aymer,

On saura bien que j'ay cessé de vivre.

///

By a secret a fire

I feel myself

I feel myself being consumed

Without being able to relieve the pain that possesses me

I could be cured

If I stopped loving

But I prefer the disease than the remedy

When I die, will they be able to blame me?

The one who begins to love, should he not pursue?

When they know, Mélusine,

That I have ceased loving

They will surely know, that I have ceased living "
