I wondered how, how
to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Pietà?

0:08

Then, basically, the answer came
to me in music.

0:12

I thought of an album conceived,
played and composed only by women.

0:21

This album, I named it Elle.

0:23

Elle in the singular
because each woman is unique.

0:35

I made my choice of repertoire simply
by going with my heart,

0:40

with my emotions, music
that really came to pick me up.

0:45

I chose, precisely, music written
by 12 exceptional women.

0:50

Each with their own style,
their unique signature and to find them, basically,

0:57

united like that in the same album, it
really becomes a diversified album.

1:03

An album rich in emotions.

1:07

Well, ultimately, you know, an album that
makes me proud to be a woman.

1:19

These 12 exceptional women, these composers
who form this album.

1:24

There are several that I can relate in music,

1:27

I am thinking of Elena Kats-Chernin,

1:30

Rachel Portman, Jocelyn Pook.

1:33

Ah, there are Quebecers too,

1:35

Julie Thériault, Ana Sokolović,
Katia Makdissi-Warren,

1:40

who composed, Mémoire, a piece where I
invited two Inuit singers.

1:46

On this album, there
is Hildegard von Bingen too.

1:51

Her music is a music of light,

1:55

I would say

1:57

which has crossed the centuries
from the twelfth century to today.

2:02

Then there are also discoveries for me.

2:03

Rebecca Dale, Caroline Shaw,
Isobel Waller-Bridge.

2:09

Finally, really exceptional music, full of
emotions.

2:16

I’m going to end by telling
you happy listening!
