"This historical recording feature the reading - by Andre Maurois himself - of "Les Silences du colonel Bramble". Inspired by his own story (he was a soldier during World War I) Maurois depicts a very british-style atmosphere, and the possibility of reaching a way of happiness in the darkests periods of History. Andre Maurois became famous with this very book and he reads himself his work in this broadcasted 1955 archive." Claude Colombini - Fremeaux

"The Metamorphoses were composed at the beginning of the Christian era by the Latin poet Ovid, just before his relegation on the shores of the Black Sea. This collection consists of a multitude of short stories inspired by mythologies, epics and tragedies both Greek and Roman: A world-book, in turn uplifting, gallant and burlesque whose voice is inspired by Michel Vuillermoz, member of the Comédie-Française, reveals the spirit and the flavors of the work. Frémeaux & Associés and Les Belles Lettres offer, for the first time in audio books, an ideal library of the great literary texts of Greek and Latin Antiquity. Whether one has read these works or always dreamed of doing so, this collection brings to the fore texts that are still current, served by faithful translations and by the interpretation of the greatest French-language actors.

This release offers the listener three natural atmospheres of Carnargue and one of Crau, recorded in true stereophony, in May, by Jean-Claude Roche. For more than an hour, the sound universe of these unique ecosystems is presented in all of its purity, in four concerts: Dawn and Twilight at La Capeliere, Daen in the Desert of La Crau with its expanses of pebbles, and finally the Dawn on the Digue a la Mer, with its expanses of salicornes.

“This record was produced in the context of the museum work of Guillaume Veillet (a collector and former editor of Trad Magazine), so as to make available to the public a broad panorama of French traditional music. It is one of a collection of 10 CDs, divided geographically by region, that aim to document popular contributions to the history and contem porary nature of our cultural and artistic heritage.” Benjamin Goldenstein

Led by Tcha Limberger, the Violons de Bruxelles group brings together the finest strings that Belgium has to offer, and puts the accent not on the guitar but on three violins. This string quintet takes the traditional swing formula of the "Hot Club de France" but turns it's codes inside out. The British musician Dave Kelbie produced this album - his credits include Fapy Lafertin, Django � la creole, Trio Tatavla - and it has magnificent arrangements of standards alongside wonderful original titles. The quintet is unrivalled in it's performance of gypsy jazz, swing, songs (and related genres like the choro), resulting in melodies that merge jazz with chamber music while the violins blend sumptuous improvisations with classic arrangements and wild forays into gypsy and Latin music. They have a unique way of drawing material from it's source to make it evolve into something else.

Fr�meaux & Associ�s and La Seine TV present a live concert by Rodolphe Raffalli. Recorded in October 2014, the artist is accompanied by brothers S�bastien and Raoul Gastine. Here Raffalli demonstrates the immense range of his repertoire, covering Latin America, great popular songs and both Swing and Gypsy Jazz, as his guitar delicately picks out melodies with the precision of a goldsmith. The result is a perfect celebration of this internationally recognized and brilliant artist.

R�meaux & Associ�s and the Grande Mosqu�e de Paris have joined forces to promote the history, philosophy, cultures and knowledge of the Muslim world. Can one be a scientist and a believer today? Answering this question in the affirmative seems to be a challenge in our time when science and religion maintain a conflictual relationship that began in modern times. Bruno Guiderdoni, an astrophysicist by profession, director of the Lyon Observatory and director of the Institut des Hautes �tudes Islamiques, takes up the challenge and proposes to engage in a peaceful dialogue between science and religion. To do this, he recalls the millenary interweaving of these two, particularly in the Arab-Muslim world where scholars such as Averroes and Algazel developed a non-contradictory relationship between the revealed truth of the Koran and scientific discoveries. Audiobook, in French. Claude COLOMBINI FR�MEAUX

Hot on the heels of the (Hot) Club de France, this is jazz that guarantees the “Made in France” label in expressing all the vitality and artistic maturity of the young musicians on the Parisian Swing scene. Their distinguishing features? Power and lyricism (in the pure Gypsy Swing tradition), combined with all the verve to be found in Hard Bop. This daringly ambitious album reconciles the partisans of Panassie and Delaunay while having all it takes to make the RP Quartet a new reference on the international jazz scene. Augustin BONDOUX

“As soon as a man is born, he is old enough to die,” Heidegger reminds us. Man is thrown into a hostile world, but he constantly tries to understand it, to arrange it, and to transcend its primary fragility by experiencing the quest for meaning. To overcome his own vulnerability, his own precariousness, man tries to assert himself, is active in making this fragility a force. For Laurence Vanin, “to be thrown into the world” is also to be thrown into an enigmatic world that it is important to understand in order to make it less frightening. It is to know that existence is strewn with trials and torments but that it needs to be sublimated. In short, to exist in fragility is to place on the horizon of its actions the possibility of happiness.

Les Presses Universitaires de France and Fr�meaux & Associ�s offer this biography of Joan of Arc, explained and narrated by Franck Collard, professor of medieval history at the University of Paris-Nanterre. Between her birth in Domr�my in 1412 and her death at the stake in 1431, the Maid of Orl�ans undoubtedly disrupted the course of the Hundred Years' War; but even more, it nourishes the imagination and catalyzes passions. Alternately a monarchist icon or "the People's irruption into History" (Michelet), a canonized saint or a victim of religious obscurantism, Joan's heritage is as much elated as it is disputed. Thus, and while Joan of Arc did not live twenty years, she is still, six centuries later, a leading figure in the national narrative that it is fascinating to get to know better.

Since 2015 the threat of terrorism has become familiar. Although the West was already violently affected in 2001, the history of jihadism goes back much further. How did Islamist terrorism come about? What role did the West play in using this phenomenon against pan-Arab nationalism during the Cold War? How does Saudi Arabia spread Salafist ideas? What role did the Muslim Brotherhood play? What impact did the Iranian revolution have? How did the Taliban, Hezbollah, FIS, Al-Qaeda and Daesh emerge? The history of terrorism is complex and instrumentalized from all sides, this presentation provides keys to understanding and the necessary distance to better grasp the subject with discernment, without shortcuts and without simplism.

November 1976, during a concert he gave in Nantes, Johnny paid an impromptu visit to Jean-Claude, his army comrade. These three days that they will spend together, somewhere in Anjou and Vend�e, resemble an enchanted parenthesis in the hectic and exhausting life of the singer then at the height of his glory. A brief stay made up of ordinary moments, intimate discussions and a trip to the sea during which he will gradually regain his clothes of light. Johnny's Walk is the story of a star who, for a few hours, came to taste normalcy and calm. Before resuming the course of his tour and his rock'n'roll life. Bruno Putzulu brings this story to life in a realistic and intimate way. It resonates with his friendship with Johnny.
