L'improvisation, la liberte et l'esprit du jazz sont au coeur de leur musique faisant de cet album un delice !

Son sens unique de la melodie a fait de Romane un guitariste incontournable a l'international, mais aussi un maitre dans l'art de mettre en musique. Avec � Classical Pieces � il realise son premier disque entierement arrange avec un quatuor a cordes. Il cree ici un univers crossover qui melange swing, classique, musique de film et jazz. Un langage musical d'une richesse infinie qui allie poesie et quietude. Pour l'accompagner dans cette aventure, il a fait appel a ses fils Richard et Pierre Manetti (la Romane family est un allstars a elle toute seule) et a ses comparses Laurent Zeller et Laurent Delaveau. Sans doute le disque le plus personnel de Romane. Augustin BONDOUX / Patrick FReMEAUX Internationally, Romane's unique melodic sense has given him a reputation as not only a "must-hear" guitarist but also a master in the art of setting a piece to music. With his "Classical Pieces" album he presents his first recording entirely arranged for a string quartet, where he creates a universe that mingles swing and classical music in a crossover that also takes in jazz and film music. The result is a musical language that is infinitely rich, and filled with a poetic serenity. Accompanying him in this adventure are his sons Richard and Pierre Manetti (the Romane family is an all-stars group of it's own), and their two comrades Laurent Zeller and Laurent Delaveau. This, without a doubt, is Romane's most personal recording. Augustin BONDOUX / Patrick FReMEAUX 1. LA LISTE DE SCHINDLER (JOHN WILLIAMS) 2. PAGLIACCIO (ROMANE) 3. LONELINESS (PIERRE MANETTI) 4.

La gr�ce sans egale de la violoniste est sublimee par areopage de musiciens prestigieux, parmi les meilleurs representants du jazz en France. Un swing sans pareil pour aborder un repertoire intemporel. A tribute to the French master of jazz violin is no easy task... but who better than Mathilde Febrer to accomplish it? She trained as a classical violinist but turned her bow to jazz a long time ago. She's accompanied a variety of artists, from Daniel Colin and Alexandre Lagoya to Led Zeppelin and Charles Aznavour, including Claude Bolling, Renaud, Henri Salvador, Rodolphe Raffalli and Sanseverino. And now, finally, we have her first album under her own name, produced for the label Respect Record by Kenichi Takahashi, a Japanese legend who loves France and it's music. The peerless grace of this violinist derives additional energy from the skilled assembly of musicians who accompany her, all of them among the best jazz instrumentalists in France. The result has an unrivalled swing in music that is timeless.

Manu Le Prince, bresilienne d'adoption et immense chanteuse de jazz, rend hommage a Johnny Alf, considere par certains comme le pere de la bossa nova et influence majeure de Jobim et Gilberto. Manu Le Prince qui a mis en lumiere les repertoires de monuments du jazz comme Cole Porter, Wayne Shorter, rend gr�ce ici a un artiste incontournable, injustement passe dans l'ombre. Elle a enregistre et produit cet album en 2013 a Rio, avec notamment Idriss Boudrioua, le saxophoniste et arrangeur de Johnny Alf sur trois decennies, et les plus grands musiciens bresiliens. La voix suave et jazzy de la chanteuse sublime le repertoire du compositeur carioca et rend justice a son oeuvre fondamentale. Her country of adoption is Brazil, and the immense jazz singer Manu Le Prince here pays homage to composer Johnny Alf, considered by some as the father of bossa nova and a major influence on Jobim and Gilberto. Manu has already dedicated recordings to the songs of jazz monuments like Cole Porter and Wayne Shorter; for this record she chose the unavoidable (and unfairly overlooked) songwriter Johnny Alf. She recorded and produced this tribute in 2013 in Rio, accompanied notably by Idriss Boudrioua, Alf's saxophonist and arranger for three decades, and some of Brazil's greatest musicians. Her suave, jazzy voice puts all her energy into the repertoire of the composer from Rio to finally do justice to his fundamental music.

Empires, characterised by cycles of emergence, conquest, domination and decline, have recurring features that suggest a cyclical dimension. With this in mind, we need to analyse the historical lessons that can shed light on the present. The Arab historian Ibn Khaldun, active in the 14th century, developed theories whose relevance remains significant. Professor Gabriel Martinez-Gros, an agrege in history and a specialist in the medieval Arab world, explores Ibn Khaldun's thought and it's enduring influence on contemporary historiography. This biography examines the power relations between wealth and violence, as well as the dynamics between Bedouin and sedentary societies, highlighting the paradox inherent in state power. These analyses encourage us to apprehend the contemporary world through the frameworks of thought forged seven centuries ago. Audiobook. In French.

� L'Arlesienne �, chef-d'oeuvre the�tral d'Alphonse Daudet, plonge au coeur des emotions humaines, explorant les themes intemporels de l'amour, de la passion et des tourments de l'�me. Le personnage enigmatique de l'Arlesienne devient le centre nevralgique du drame, sa presence absente, mais ressentie dans l'esprit des protagonistes, nourrit le mystere qui entoure cette femme insaisissable. L'Arlesienne n'est pas simplement une figure feminine absente, mais un symbole puissant qui incarne les desirs inaccessibles et les reves impossibles. Elle devient le miroir refletant les illusions romantiques et les aspirations idealisees, confrontant les personnages a leurs propres limites emotionnelles. C'est une exploration profonde de la nature humaine, de ses desirs inassouvis et de la maniere don't l'amour peut devenir une force destructrice. Daniel Mesguich, dans une performance remarquable, incarne a lui seul tous les personnages, revelant avec talent le langage pittoresque de Daudet et sa capacite a saisir l'essence du terroir provencal. � L'Arlesienne �, interpretee par Mesguich, offre ainsi une experience the�trale captivante et memorable, o� l'excellence artistique se mele a la richesse narrative de Daudet. Claude COLOMBINI FReMEAUX "L'Arlesienne", Alphonse Daudet's theatrical masterpiece, plunges to the heart of human emotions, exploring the timeless themes of love, passion and the torments of the soul. The enigmatic figure of L'Arlesienne becomes the neuralgic centre of the drama, her presence absent but felt in the minds of the protagonists, fuelling the mystery that surrounds this elusive woman. L'Arlesienne is not simply an absent female figure, but a powerful symbol embodying unattainable desires and impossible dreams. She becomes the mirror reflecting romantic illusions and idealised aspirations, confronting the characters with their own emotional limits. It is a profound exploration of human nature, it's unfulfilled desires and how love can become a destructive force. Daniel Mesguich, in a remarkable performance, single-handedly embodies all the characters, skilfully revealing Daudet's picturesque language and his ability to capture the essence of the Provencal terroir. "L'Arlesienne", performed by Mesguich, offers a captivating and memorable theatrical experience, where artistic excellence blends with Daudet's rich narrative. Audiobook. In French.

Texte mythique et sulfureux pour des generations de lecteurs, le Satiricon offre une plongee unique dans les milieux populaires de l'Italie meridionale antique. Le narrateur, un etudiant libertin nomme Encolpe, vivant dans une sorte de menage a trois avec son compagnon Ascylte et leur jeune amant Giton, nous invite a le suivre dans une succession ininterrompue d'aventures extravagantes. a ses cotes, nous croisons une foule de personnages bigarres, grotesques, debauches, toujours a l'affut d'une bonne affaire, d'un menu larcin ou, a defaut, d'une partie fine. L'auditeur sera peut-etre surpris d'entendre nombre de discussions qui pourraient avoir lieu dans un repas de famille contemporain : critique des hommes politiques, complainte sur le pouvoir d'achat, calomnie contre les disparus. Ces echanges se tiennent dans une langue fleurie et variee, refletant les niveaux de langue et les dialectes des differents convives. La traduction d'Olivier Sers lue par Jean-Pierre Lorit restitue magistralement ces particularismes linguistiques ainsi que la truculence des propos. A mythical and sulphurous text for generations of readers, the Satiricon offers a unique insight into the working classes of ancient southern Italy. The narrator, a libertine student named Encolpe, living in a sort of menage a trois with his companion Ascylte and their young lover Giton, invites us to follow him in an uninterrupted succession of extravagant adventures. Alongside him, we meet a host of colourful, grotesque and debauched characters, always on the lookout for a bargain, a petty theft or, failing that, a game of finesse.

With her album B.O. Paradiso, singer Do Montebello pays a tribute to film songs that have marked her life. With this third opus, the artist - who devotes her performances to both well-known material and her own compositions - enchants the world with melodies and songs that mingle peace of mind and poetry. The album was produced by Marc Berthoumieux, whose sumptuous arrangements here provide settings that move between jazz, song, pop music and bossa nova. It's an intoxicating mixture, intimate and yet universal in it's perspective, and it takes listeners into a world that is weightlessly soft... and touched by grace.

En reaction aux resonnances neo-classiques qui dominaient le paysage musical francais de l'apres Seconde Guerre mondiale, quelques compositeurs - emboitant le pas au groupe Jeune France (Messiaen, Jolivet...) - ambitionnerent de mettre en lumiere les grandes figures de la tradition moderne, Webern, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Berio et quelques autres. Pierre Boulez fut sans aucun doute le plus celebre representant de cette nouvelle orientation. Compositeur mondialement reconnu, pedagogue, initiateur et directeur de nombreuses institutions (Ircam), il fut egalement l'un des plus respectes meneurs d'orchestre, mettant sa baguette au service du repertoire de son temps. Christophe LOINTIER & Patrick FReMEAUX. In reaction to the neoclassical resonances that dominated the French musical landscape post-World War II, a few composers - following in the footsteps of the 'Jeune France' movement that included Messiaen and Jolivet - made efforts to throw light on the great figures of the modern tradition, namely Webern, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Berio and a few others. Pierre Boulez was no doubt the most famous of this new orientation's representatives, a world-renowned composer and teacher who initiated and directed numerous institutions such as the Ircam for example. He was also one of the most respected conductors to wield a baton over the repertoire of his day. Christophe LOINTIER & Patrick FReMEAUX

If gospel music was a corporation and not a music genre, James Cleveland would have been it's big boss. He was certainly America's greatest gospel music star, and he reigned over the circuit for almost 40 years. He fostered the mass choir boom that is so popular today, and instigated such major events as Aretha Franklin's "Amazing Grace" album (a worldwide best-seller). This selection of Cleveland's best recordings finally highlights the work of a great musician about whom we know too little.

Presses Universitaires de France and Fremeaux & Associes offer this history of nineteenth-century Africa, analyzed and explained by Anne Hugon, a senior lecturer at Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne University and a specialist in Africa. Contrary to preconceived ideas about the past and the peoples of the African continent, who are said to have remained on the sidelines of history, Anne Hugon offers a presentation that re-establishes the facts, namely those of a plural, diverse Africa that was once open to the world. The historian retraces the continent's history in the 19th century, which is not limited to European takeovers: she reveals an extremely complex 19th century in Africa, marked by major political revolutions, with the emergence of new states; and by economic and cultural revolutions, notably with the rise of two monotheisms, Islam and Christianity.
