La Nuit de Paris - Auf den Spuren der Piaf

LA NUIT DE PARIS - ON THE TRACK OF PIAF

Evi Niessner: vocals & moderation
Annegret Cratz: Accordion
Dimi Rey: Violin

With this special French concert evening, Evi Niessner takes the audience back to old Paris by night and lets it shine with bright lights - Paris! ...when it was still like a circus. Star in the ring: Edith Piaf - star of the evening: Evi Niessner. She manages the small miracle of merging completely with the icon Piaf and at the same time being the incomparable Miss Evi. Evi Niessner sings, and every note becomes a kiss, an embrace, a sigh. The streets and squares of this magical city of Paris are full of stories and secrets. They tell of unfulfilled longing, of happy and unhappy love affairs, sleepless nights and big dreams of a better world. "Parlez moi d'amour!" means: "Tell me about love!", and Evi Niessner does this with her voice and her whole body in all its facets.
Annegret Cratz is considered one of Germany's most outstanding accordion players. On this evening, she turns the most French of all instruments into a full orchestra. With classics such as Milord, Padam Padam and L'Accordeoniste, rarities such as Kurt Weill's Youkali and her own arrangement of Evi Niessner's title chanson La Nuit, the whole world becomes a place of longing, Paris, for this blue hour. And when Dimi Rey's violin jubilates, laments, cries or laughs with a stylistic confidence, virtuosity and mastery like no other, you are swept away in a sea of sounds and emotions. And the lovers talk tenderly to each other about love all night long. In LA NUIT DE PARIS - AUF DEN SPUREN DER PIAF, Evi Niessner delves into the world of Piaf, shedding light on the dark side of the city of love with all its secrets, abysses and beauty. An evening at the highest artistic and musical level, performed with playful and nonchalant ease.
