Details: Amazon.ca Because he views the stage as a moment of truth, Alain Souchon knows how to give his best there. Just like during this Olympia concert, when, surprisingly relaxed, the man we know to be so shy opens up with pleasure. He shares his humor-filled asides, gracefully alternating between the beautiful energy of his most upbeat songs and the contagious emotion of his intimate confessions. Thanks to this perfectly staged show, in which every song is revitalized for the occasion by spirited arrangements, we are given the chance to revisit 27 tracks from his repertoire. Included, of course, are his greatest hits, from "Bidon" to "Foule sentimentale," including "Jamais content," "Allô maman bobo," and "Le Bagad de Lann Bihouë," while a lively medley features "J'ai dix ans," "Poulailler's Song," and "On avance." But, as the singer knows not to limit himself to the obvious, he offers us, for the first time, live versions of lesser-known tracks such as "Les Regrets," "Les Bergères," or "Courrier." The result: a double CD, rightfully crowned album of the year at the Victoires de la Musique, which joyfully radiates the subtle melancholy and devastating wit of an artist who is truly one of a kind. --Sylvie Devilette
