A tous les enfants

Concert by Christian Vander - Paris 15-12-1994

André Liedet

Christian Vander organised a small concert in Paris on December 15th to present his new CD 'A tous les enfants...' It took place in the back of the Fnac Musique Italiens shop on a small stage set between the racks of CDs. The line-up was Christian Vander (piano, vocals), Stella and Julie Vander and Isabelle Feuillebois (vocals). They played six tracks from the album, songs for which the orchestration mainly uses piano: 'Hymne aux enfants - Zoland', 'J'ai du bon tabac', 'Ronde de Nuit', 'A la claire fontaine', 'Mr Vent' and (perhaps) 'Il est Noël'. It was a great pleasure to attend this 25-minute preview of music that we have been waiting for, for such a long time, even if some tracks have already been played a few times since 1993 (for example, at Christian & Stella's concert in Le Plessis Robinson and also at the Seventh Records anniversary shows). 'Ronde de Nuit' is definitely a masterpiece of Zeuhl music. The last song, which might have been 'Il est Noël' started with some phrases that you will find on the CD ("au premier coup entendez-vous", "au deuxième...") but I am not certain what this song was, can anyone help? The next rendezvous for this ensemble is the 27th March and for a few weeks after that, be there for more music and emotion. Come with your children, bring your brothers and sisters, the music is for them too.
