RECORD RETAILER (INTERNATIONAL)

New music craze sweeping France

Record Retailer - Jean-Christian Michel

Record Retailer

"A strange music phenomenon is sweeping across France. And the man at the top of the new craze is Jean-Christian Michel who plays the clarinet. But the twist is that he only performs in churches although there is no apparent religious connotation to his performances... And he is now one of France's major disc acts. His first album "Requiem" on the Riviera label is currently at the top of the french bestselling albums chart while his second "Aranjuez" has just enterted the chart...

JEAN-CHRISTIAN MICHEL IN GERMANY, UNITED KINGDOM, BELGIUM, SWEDEN, NETHERLANDS

Jean-Christian Michel Germany, Metronome Records Gmbh

Jean-Christian Michel ist ein französischer Komponist und Klarinettist, ein großer Vorläufer der Annäherung von Jazz und klassischer Musik.

Michel ist erst nach seiner Ausbildung zum Chirurgen 1970 öffentlich aufgetreten. Er ist von der Kirchenmusik von Johann Sebastian Bach und vom anspruchsvollen europäischen Jazz inspiriert. Er spielt seine Kompositionen und Adaptionen auf der Klarinette. Jean-Christian Michel hat sich immer mit kompetenten Jazzmusikern wie Kenny Clarke umgeben, der mit ihm 10 Jahre lang spielte. Weiterhin ist er mit dem Drummer Daniel Humair und den Bassisten Guy Pedersen bzw. Henri Texier aufgetreten.

Jean-Christian Michel wurde 1986 in Paris der Preis "Sciences et Culture" ("Wissenschaften und Kultur") von der Sorbonne verliehen. Die Jury bestand aus sechs Nobelpreisträgern.

Bach à la Michel ging mehr unter die Haut als ehrfurchtsgetränkte Originale.

"J.-S. Bach hätte sicher gefallen..."

Jean-Christian Michel bot uns einen Abend voller Schwung und Dynamik, der nicht nur bei jungen Zuhörern für Aufsehen sorgte, sondern auch Vertreter einer älteren Generation begeisterte. Noch nie hatte die prall gefüllte Kirche während der "Bach tage" einen solchen Triumph erlebt ". Applaus, der nicht enden wollte, prasselte laut auf. Die Fans forderten Zugabe um Zugabe...

Es war ein Event zu Ehren Bach, ganz außergewöhnlich, elektrisierend und spannend... Ob Arrangements oder phantasievolle Eigenwerke, Michel geht mit Musik mit unendlicher Sensibilität um. J.-S. Bach hätte sicher gefallen..."

"Jean-Christian Michel brought us an evening of élan and dynamism, which not only excited the younger members of the audience, but also delighted the representatives of the older generation.

The packed church had never known such a triumph during " BACH Tage ". "The unending applause threatened to raise the roof. The amazed audience demanded encore after encore... It was a demonstration in honour of BACH, completely extraordinary, electrifying and fascinating.... Whether it was arrangements of BACH or MICHEL's own works overflowing with imagination, the clarinetist treats the music with an infinite sensibility. J.-S. Bach would certainly have loved it... "

HAMBURGER ABENDBLATT

Jean-Christian Michel Germany Hamburg in The Hamburger Abendsblatt

"Er entstaubt die alte Musik, macht sie modern, durchsetzt sie mit Elementen des Jazz, füllt sie mit abendländischen und orientalischen Einflüssen. Seine Musik wirkt sanft, wohlklingend"...

HAMBURGER ABENDBLATT (translated from German)

Jean-Christian Michel : "Sprache des Herzens"... "Language of the Heart" ...

"The French composer and clarinetist Jean-Christian Michel gave his concert to St Michael Kirche in front of more than 2000 people. In truth the abundance of the applause was as unusual in this church as the mass of people who had crammed in, standing at the edges or sitting on the steps of the altar. The clarinetist made his own way in the music which he endowed with a new character, by the conjugation of a jazz-influenced rhythm with harmonies directly inspired by the J.-S. Bach's Sacred music : a meditative universe imprinted with purity and with the life-force.

The interpretations of J.-S. Bach, Play Bach or michel's jazz Bach remain faithful to their subject and do not betray the spirit of Cantor of Leipzig. In most of the pieces a sort of solemnity resounds in every note, a sacred and traditional solemnity which transports us from the rigour of daily life to the frontiers of a blissful beauty.

One can only admire the magnificent sound of Jean-Christian Michel's clarinet : from a sweet sensitivity to the unreality almost imperceptibly played, Michel works its sounds, shakes them and vibrates them, whispers or cries them and has few equals in this art.

(Half a Newpaper's page)

But MICHEL is also the composer of the "Vision d'Ezéchiel", an incredible musical intensity, during which, the audience can not refrain from keeping time… The deafening applause was unending in God's house.

The spectators demanded encore after encore by cheering and by stamping their feet and clapping their hands in rhythm : MICHEL and his performers complied with a good and cheerful grace in spite of the obvious fatigue. Such brilliance explains the fascination exercised by Jean-Christian Michel on his public

NOT THE LONDON NEWS REWIEW

Jean-Christian Michel : my interest piqued.

I gave my brother a strangely annotated French LP for Christmas, covered in Baudelaire quotes. The artist: Jean-Christian Michel."At the age of ten, he who would later become a gynaecological surgeon chose the clarinet whilst undertaking a classical education at the conservatoire. It led him first towards Jazz with "all the expressiveness, which takes the audience by the guts and its swing with which it is so interesting to play".

Dat concert Jean-Christian Michel heeft een enorme indruk op mij gemaakt, en zijn muziek doet dat, soms onverwacht, nog steeds.

ILLUSTRATED EVENING (Brussels)

"Music of Light" by Jean-Christian Michel : "the most original album of the year, which will not leave many people indifferent."

TELE 7 JOURS

Die Musik von Jean-Christian Michel entgeht irgendeiner Definition : man hört es, und man wird damit getränkt. Sie ist Zauberei, sonores Licht. Sie spricht über den Ursprung und über die Unendlichkeit...
