Razek-Francois Bitar in Kuwait
Countertenor, Razek-Francois Bitar is a voice born in Syria and now established in Italy. Tonight, with David Simonacci on piano, he gave a warm performance at the DAI theatre, including the "Che puro ciel". In an intimate ambiance, he let his voice fill the space with his fragile yet powerful emotions. The repertoire was Handel, Gluck, Ravel. He then switched to Armenian, to Arabic and he embraced both worlds with as much ease and finesse. In sweet words, he dedicated the last song by Rahbani to his mother as if she was in the audience.
This was a treat.

Je commence ma journée parisienne avec Razek-François Bitar. Merci pour ce réveil en douceur.
ce sont des petites choses, mais la douceur est essentielle... Pour nous au Koweit, ca faisais office de grande performance...
