Claire Pelletier is a singer of beautiful voice
When she chose to make a Christmas album almost two years, Claire did not just take archi-known songs and remake in their own way. It was placed at the top to create a concept album that would revive songs centered around the Nativity, drawing on a repertoire old and original as possible. This allowed us to hear different songs from what is known and unknown versions of songs they had already heard, I think to let the animals graze and shepherds it.Â
Tonight, Claire has been back on stage, surrounded by a wonderful cast of nine musicians many of whom had participated in the design of the album. Besides herself on percussion and guitar, she had invited his stooge always Pierre Duchesne (bass, harmonium), François
Pilon (violin, mandolin) and some members of his band called The bandstand, are Desgagné Alain (clarinet), Mathieu Harel (Bassoon), Jean-Luc Gagnon (clarinet) and Eric Vaillancourt (trombone). To top it off, there were also François Taillefer (percussion), Jean-Sébastien Fournier (piano, keyboards, harmonium, percussion) and Lana Carbonneau (flute, vocals). A lot of people on the same stage and what should be emphasized, everyone was there to support and embed the voice of Claire in a project at once festive and respectful of the event which is celebrated the nativity of Christ.
It is difficult to attend a performance by Claire Pelletier again without noticing the beautiful and clear voice of the performer, certainly one of the most beautiful of Quebec. Always fair, but it is never too, is not the voice and performance is always to subjugate us by the angelic beauty of his interpretations. It draws on sources of course the album has 12 songs, which adds 7 new pieces that are exactly the same tone, including Huron Christmas, a young virgin, Where are you shepherdess, etc..
Among the highlights of the show include the beautiful songs that are Falalalala  and let your cattle graze that allow it to show all the colors of his voice. After all, a beautiful spectacle that puts us in the atmosphere of festivals through the front door, the door GOOD dare I say, away from the orgy of consumption and closer to the celebration of a miracle.
The beautiful and great voice of Claire Pelletier was in the spotlight tonight when it was on his return to Montreal with a brand new show called Trillium, representing the flower called trillium and is almost synonymous with the number 3, with three petals Three flowers, etc.. Claire says that for her, the show Trillium is also a multiple of three, it incorporates parts of his three albums, and with the support of three sections of art. First, the presence of a string quartet under the leadership of François Pilon, second the presence of information technology (byte) in the hands of bassist Pierre Duchesne and, finally, the voice, the interpreter of a high-level that makes us dream about 10 years now.
In fact this is in 1996 she launched her first solo album, having worked with many artists including Richard Séguin, Jean-Guy Moreau, etc.. In this album entitled Murmurs of history, it took over Star Dust, The Damoiseau, My my Pierre Abelard, too far in Ireland and the ghost ship. Not to be outdone, it also included some songs from her second album, is Hildegard of Bingen, The Speech of Aristophanes and Galileo.
Obviously, several pieces of the latest album have found their place, the master and slave, cherry (beautiful), Silence, What you give, The song of the sirens, Dance and Without forget (that we can not forget). There were a few new songs, but also a surprise in the form of the city asleep songs of Jacques Brel.
