Charles Aznavour turned 90 in 2014. His passion for singing and performing on stage determinedly, relentlessly carried him over the years. Having performed before audiences since the age of 9, the young man grew into the great Charles, music-hall icon, cornerstone of French song and one of the very few Gallic artists with a truly international following over the decades. Today, the miracle is not over. Aznavour is singing, Aznavour is touring the world. Charles Aznavour talks about his profession with modesty, sincerity and relevance. His humour, repartee and frankness are legendary. For that is Aznavour’s great grace and mystery: his eternal youth and resilient character tempered with joy and innocence. And now a new album entitled “Encores”, an allusion to the audience’s shouts for more at the end of a concert. Charles wrote the album himself, exploring his memories (the single “Avec un brin de nostalgie”) and his joie de vivre too, simply sharing his “Encores” with those he loves. He also touches on his youth in the streets of Montmartre and his memories of Edith Piaf, passing time. This beautiful album is a trat, shining with sincerity and shows a desire to pass on the torch, too (the duet with soul revelation Benjamin Clementine: “You’ve Got To Learn”, an adaptation of the song “Il faut savoir”).

Charles Aznavour is perhaps the best-known French music hall entertainer in the world renowned the world over for the bittersweet love songs he has written and sung, which seem to embody the essence of French popular song, and also for his appearances on screen in such wildly divergent fare as Shoot the Piano Player, Candy, and The Tin Drum. His status as the quintessential French popular culture icon is something of an irony for a man who identifies himself most closely with his Armenian heritage. Born Shahnour Varenagh Aznavourian, his French roots derive from the fact that his family fled the threat of massacre by the Turks his father was a singer and sometime-restauranteur, while his mother was an actress and part-time seamstress. His father’s singing, done in a notably impassioned style, heavily influenced Aznavour’s approach to singing as a boy. Although he had a voracious appetite for music, he also had a serious impediment growing up, in the form of a paralyzed vocal cord that gave his voice a raspy quality. He channeled some of his energy into theater, making both his stage and screen debuts at age nine, in 1933, in the theater piece Un Bon Petite Diable and in the film La Guerre des Gosses. As an adolescent, he danced in nightclubs and sold newspapers, as well as touring with theatrical companies, and he wrote a nightclub act in partnership with Pierre Roche Aznavour wrote the lyrics to their songs and it was through that material that he began his singing career. Early on, he learned to overcome his fears about his vocal limitations, in part with help from singing legend Edith Piaf, for whom he worked as a chauffeur, among other capacities; with her help, he developed a style that suited his capabilities and played to his strengths and also continued writing songs in earnest, some of which were performed by Piaf.

Charles Aznavour a récemment fait son grand retour sur la scène parisienne : 6 Palais des Sports sold out, après une tournée mondiale qui l’a emmené dans les plus grandes villes d’Europe, d’Amérique du Nord, de Russie et bien sûr à Erevan, en Arménie. Infatigable, Aznavour a sorti un nouvel album, “Encores”, lors d’une “pause” après cette mémorable tournée. Prouvant une fois de plus que le désir de chanter n’a pas d’âge, il a proposé au public une nouvelle collection de chansons, toutes réalisées par Marc Di Domenico. C’est donc très naturellement que ce dernier se trouve aujourd’hui aux commandes de ce live, tant à la réalisation de sa version audio que du film capté au Palais des Sports en septembre dernier. Avec toujours autant d’honnêteté et d’émotion, Di Domenico restitue la vérité d’Aznavour, artiste à la fois phénoménal et insondable, libre et déterminé, aux détours d’une sélection de ses plus grandes chansons, ses plus grandes victoires.
