When I was a child I saw Donkey Skin and it made me want to be Catherine Deneuve. Later when I saw Yentl I wanted to become Barbra Streisand. "One day I wanted to sing Legrand, then I met Michel." - Natalie Dessay. What do you get when the Doll from The Tales of Hoffmann meets the composer of the original score from Donkey Skin? A charming and somewhat magical duet: Natalie Dessay / Michel Legrand. From The Umbrellas of Cherbourg to The Young Girls of Rochefort, from Eddy Marnay to Claude Nougaro, the music of Michel Legrand and the crystalline voice of Natalie Dessay bloom in the gardens of the Orangerie of the Palace of Versailles, which seem to have been designed to resound with these eternal melodies. "I worked a great deal on the accompaniment; I play the piano as if it were an orchestra," says Legrand. It is with this lush instrumental sound in mind that the composer brought three excellent musicians into the fold: Pierre Boussaguet on double bass, Fran?ois Laizeau on the drums and Pierre Perchaud on guitar. A surprise detour finds bass-baritone Laurent Naouri joining his wife Natalie in duet. These superlative artists come together with complete musical freedom for a unique and unforgettable concert experience.
