His musical work is the happy combination of traditional Breton music, jazz improvisation and classical romanticism. He reveals in this alchemy an exceptional talent.     He begins the piano in 1959 with a classical background at the Brest Conservatoire of Music. As he discovers Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, he'll turn his music to jazz. A few years after, he'll go into Breton music, a music that surrounded him from 1987 to 1993 through concerts in common with Manu Lannhuel, Kristen Noguès...     Since 1994, as he takes part to the 'Heritage des Celtes' and performs regularly with Yann-Fañch Kemener, he'll go deeper into Breton music and create his own show: 'Brest 96' with 'An Tour Tan'.     In 1997 is produced his first solo album, 'Molène' with a huge welcome from the audience (Breton music as well as jazz or classical music lovers). Two years later, comes the second one 'Porz gwenn', in February 2000, his live album, recorded during the 1999 Festival de Lorient concert. And finally, the 'Symphonie Bretagne' where he's joined by the Bretagne Orchestra directed by Didier Benetti, the Contrepoint choir, Josik Allot and his bombard, Bernard le Dréau and René Goaer with their saxes, Alain Trévarin and his accordion and Jean Chevalier with his drums. An album orchestrated by Pierre-Yves Moign.     The 'Rozbras'album, a new step into Dider's classical-jazzy-celtic musical world. Like 'Molène' and 'Porz gwenn', together with the CD comes a booklet with beautiful pictures by Michel Thersiquel, one of Brittany's most famous photographers. The 'Ballades' album is a musical voyage along the Globe. From Marrakech or Istambul to Asia (where Didier had an important tour in 2002) and back to Scotland, Ireland and Brittany. In the latest album, 'Symphonie Iroise', Didier meets once again the Orchestre de Bretagne directed by Alain Altinoglu and also his usual crew : Bernard Le Dréau playing saxophones, Alain Trévarin for accordeon, Jean Chevalier with the drums, Erwan Keravec the piper and Manu Lann Huel the singer. « Brest 96 »        15 € I order this C.D. | My order Saozon - 4'19 An Tour-Tan - 6'17 Gigue - 3'49 World's End Song - 1'15 Dz - 3'56 Ma gwir amour - 2'31 Finis Terrae - 3'00 Irlande - 4'18 The Ground - 4'01 Luskellerez - 2'49 Penn ar Bed - 5'17 Ar Mor - 3'50 Guests: Yann-Fañch Kemener, Manu Lann-Huel, Dan Ar Braz, Ronan Le Bars, Jean-Michel Veillon, Gilles Le Bigot, Alain Genty, Jakez Moreau, David Hopkins, Bernard Le Dréau, Alain Trevarin, Jean-Pierre Meneghin, Jean Chevalier, Ludovic Mesnil, David Rusaouen, Eric Le Lann, Jean-Louis Le Vallegant, Patrick Stanislawski. « Molène »        23,63 € I order this C.D. | My order Tri men - 21'42 Ker Eon - 24'25 Bannec - 18'17 « Porz gwenn »        22,87 € I order this C.D. | My order Tal ar mor - 4'13 Kastellig - 2'44 Forzh penaoz - 3'24 Diskan - 3'30 Petit air marin - 4'03 Cantique breton - 1'52 Marche - 3'10 Airs de gavotte - 3'00 Nominoë - 1'27 Choral - 2'31 An dro de Pont Kalleg - 3'24 Ar paotr yaouank kozh - 3'12 Sur la route de St-Claude - 3'19 Ridée de Loperhet - 3'54 Rond de Molène - 1'13 Rond d'Iroise - 1'33 Ar c'hoadig - 1'48 Porz Gwenn - 3'18 « Concert - Lorient »        23,63 € I order this C.D. | My order Var. 1 - 16'55 Var. 2 - 11'29 Var. 3 - 3'57 Var. 4 - 7'39 Var. 5 - 6'26 Var. 6 - 6'14 Adarre - 5'02 « Symphonie Bretagne »        20,12 € I order this C.D. | My order First movement : (For Robert Masson) Prélude Ker Ys Sonjit mab den Bugel ar mor Maro eo ma mestrez Gavotten Kost ar c'hoat Second movement : (For the Stéphan Amiral) Me m'eus paseet Tremor Cadence Marche 1 : Pe oen me bihanig Marche 2 : son ar vot Suite de danses Scottish Third movement : (For Jo Le Guen) Rédéné Penherez Keroulas Skolvan Trimen An Tour Tan Cantique Enez Molenez « Rozbras »        22,87 € I order this C.D. | My order Image 1 - 5'53 Image 2 - 2'51 Image 3 - 3'42 Image 4 - 2'15 Image 5 - 5'18 Image 6 - 6'29 Image 7 - 2'36 Image 8 - 4'32 Image 9 - 3'25 Image 10 - 6'01 Image 11 - 3'28 Image 12 - 5'08 « Kestell Traezh »        19 €    CD & book with poems by Yann-Ber Piriou I order this book & C.D. | My order Aner eo ... - 0'50 Den ebet - 1'26 E-touez ar bleunioù hag ar gwez - 4'15 Beg ar Storloc'h - 1'33 Gourdrouz war ar Bed - 7'15 Koll ha digoll - 8'21 A-viskoazh ha da viken - 5'23 Mamm an avel - 3'19 Estrenvan - 1'14 Avel adal an deiz kentañ - 1'48 Desket hon eus ... - 2'04 Ha goullonderet vez ar gerioù - 1'56 Danvez Kastell ... - 0'24 Kestell - 1'32 Gwelloc'h - 1'29 « Ballades »        24,30 € I order this C.D. | My order Unan - 3'05 Daou - 6'16 Tri - 8'01 Pevar - 5'43 Pemp - 3'46 C'hwec'h - 5'57 Seizh - 8'35 Eizh - 4'29 Nav - 5'23 « Symphonie Iroise »        24,30 € I order this C.D. | My order 1er mouvement Prélude - 3'01 Hanter hent - 6'01 Côte des légendes - 3'10 Unan - 4'51 Cadence - 3'26 Tal ar Mor - 2'54 Andro an Douar - 4'09 2ème mouvement Prélude - 2'59 Cantique - 4'53 Ronds et ridées - 3'52 An Oed - 4'05 Île-elle - 3'40 Plinn et gavottes - 3'55 [ Homepage ] [ Index ] [ Books ] [ Records ] [ Celtic Art ] [ Our Shops ] [ Mailing List ] [ Order ]
