Presentation

In 2001, Alain Bashung and Chloé Mons asked Rodolphe Burger to put their wedding ceremony to music. The religious ceremony turned into a recording session: on an electronic rock loop, the singer's voice blends with that of his muse to let the spectators hear The Song of Songs. As Alain Bashung died last year, the duet can no longer be reformed, but this love song with Biblical origins only asks to be perpetuated. Armed with new arrangements, Rodolphe Burger proposes a version of it to which Valérie Dashwood and Laurent Poitrenaux, Ludovic Lagarde's loyal actors, will lend their voices. ADB
