Details: Product Description Boulay, Isabelle Amazon.ca We can perhaps reproach Isabelle Boulay for multiplying the publications at a frantic pace. We cannot, however, accuse him of having skimped on the work with When it's time to be yours. In this album live, she combines original material ("Mieux qu'ici-bas") and classics of French song ("Avec le temps", "Non, je ne regrette rien") and Quebecois ("Le Retour de Don Quichotte", " Monopolis"), a judicious repertoire gracefully delivered by its musicians and those of the Orchester symphonique de Montréal. The singer seems more than ever at ease in such a sound environment, skillfully playing on nuances, silences and passionate impulses. Some interpretations flirt dangerously with emotional excess and some arrangements are sometimes heavy, sometimes simple, while the mixing, which puts the vocals a little too much in the foreground, tends to eclipse the playing of the strings. But as a general rule, Boulay knows how to shine when she exploits the colors of her rich voice. Au moment d'être à vous is a relevant publication, which will delight its admirers, especially since the first copies are offered in remarkable packaging, along with a generous booklet. --Nicolas Houle
