"Will you love me
Will you understand
What people mean
Who live unwisely?
I love you without reasoning."
Hoshi
"If people try to organise a well led life for you
Where you quickly forget yourself... Resist!"
Michel Berger
Kiki of Montparnasse immortalised by Man Ray: the suggestive curves of a woman, her back with the two sound holes of a violin painted on the body itself, thus turning this feminine body into the most irresistible of musical instruments.
Daughter of nothing who wants everything, a free woman unencumbered with conventions, Kiki is the epitome of feminine emancipation and is the inspiration for this discographic programme that illustrates the passage of song to chanson in the course of the twentieth century.
The multiple facets of femininity, the audacity, the sensuality embodied by this natural, airy singing within this improbable trio should not deceive us. It is truly a genuine declaration of love that is sung on this recording.
