Details: Amazon.ca Because he conceives the stage as a passage-truth, Alain Souchon knows how to give it the best of himself. As during this Olympia, when, surprisingly relaxed, the one who is known to be so shy opens up to pleasure. There are his asides full of humor, and gracefully alternates the beautiful energy of his most playful songs and the communicative emotion of his intimate confidences. Thanks to this perfectly tuned show, in which each song is revitalized for the occasion by tonic arrangements, we are given the opportunity to revisit 27 titles from his repertoire. There are of course his greatest hits, from "Bidon" to "Sentimental crowd" via "Never happy", "Hello mom bobo" or "Le Bagad de Lann Bihouë", while a medley removed at will combines " I'm ten years old", "Chicken's Song" and "We're moving forward". But, as the singer knows not to limit himself to the obvious, he offers us for the first time the live versions of lesser-known titles, such as "Les Regrets", "Les Bergères" or "Courrier". Result: a double CD, rightly crowned album of the year at the Victoires de la Musique, which happily diffuses the subtle melancholy and devastating derision of an artist who is decidedly unique in his genre. --Sylvie Devilette
