9 Secrets
Une collaboration autour du livre « Le manuscrit retrouvé » du célèbre écrivain brésilien Paulo
Coelho, auteur notamment du best seller l’Alchimiste (http://www.paulo-coelho.fr/biographie) où
se rejoignent la beauté des textes et la musique d’Ute Lemper.
Avec 6 musiciens mêlant les mélodies du Moyen Orient autour de la guitare, des percussions, du
bandonéon, du piano, de la flute et du saxophone, Ute a su créé un répertoire qui transforme les
mots de l’écrivain brésilien en une expérience unique, un voyage musical et spirituel dans la beauté
et la complexité de l’âme.
Décors scéniques et projections de Volker Schloendorff (un système de projection est nécessaire)
Avec :
Henri Agnel : guitare, sistre et rebec
Idriss Agnel : percussion et sistre
Romain Lecuyer : basse
Victor Villena : bandonéon
Vana Gierig : piano
Philippe Botta : flute, ney et saxophone

Last Tango in Berlin
« Last Tango in Berlin » est un voyage musical et poétique à travers le temps. Ute Lemper revisite
ses grands répertoires dans un récital « best-of » : les chansons Berlinoises de Kurt Weill à Brecht
/ Les « Cabaret Songs » / Le Tango de Piazzolla / La Chanson Française de Brel, Piaf, Léo Ferré
ainsi que le répertoire original d’Ute ajouté aux paroles de Charles Bukowski, Pablo Neruda et Paulo
Coelho.
Une balade musicale dans les rues de Paris, Berlin, New York et Buenos Aires à travers le passé et
le présent.
Ce concert en constante évolution depuis 20 ans présente les nombreuses rencontres musicales
et littéraires qu’Ute a pu expérimenter avec ses diverses créations à New York et ses nombreuses
tournées internationales.
Il est proposé avec 4 musiciens (et peut s’adapter si nécessaire avec 2 ou 3 ou 4 musiciens)
Avec :
Vana Gierig : piano
Victor Villena : bandonéon
Romain Lecuyer : basse
Cyril Garac : violon
Songs for Eternity
Un répertoire émouvant et bouleversant, chanté en yiddish et allemand, reprenant des chansons
écrites entre 1942 et 1944 dans les ghettos et les camps de concentration.
Un voyage profond et plein de questionnements dans la souffrance humaine face au génocide.
Une commémoration personnelle de l’Holocauste, avec la vision et l’interprétation d’Ute Lemper et

MUSIC
By STEPHEN HOLDEN MAY 15, 2016
The fierce, multilingual chanteuse Ute Lemper is a teacher as much as she is a
singer. And at Symphony Space on Friday evening, she performed most of her
remarkable new album, “The 9 Secrets,” for which she set lyrics by the Brazilian
author Paulo Coelho to original music. A song cycle based on his novel
“Manuscript Found in Accra,” it is an auspicious collaboration.
Ms. Lemper, 52, is a kindred spirit to Mr. Coelho, 68, whose searching
philosophical reflections on human existence have the solemnity of sacred texts
and offer spiritual guidance without reference to a deity. Ms. Lemper has devoted
increasing effort in recent years to using songs to address injustice and political
strife. Mr. Coelho does a less specific version of the same thing in lyrics that evoke
universal truths.
On “The 9 Secrets,” titles like “Solitude,” “Beauty,” “Movement,” “Sex” and
“Love” have a cosmic resonance intensified by Ms. Lemper’s sinuous droning
melodies and chameleonic voice. That voice is an acquired taste. It can rise to a
piercing feline cry or subside to a seductive murmur. But in any language, her
tone is imperious, her timbre metallic.
Her international repertoire has steadily widened from German cabaret and
theater music to encompass Middle Eastern, Indian and South American styles,
VXU

which she swirled together in a concert with a humanitarian agenda.
Mr. Coelho’s lyrics on the record are metaphysical, apolitical and
compassionate. In the song “Change,” he writes, “I wish I was like the wind/For
no one knows where it comes from/And it changes direction without having to
explain why.” It is one of the strongest lyrics on “The 9 Secrets,” a suite of reveries
whose subject is nothing less than the totality of experience, contemplated from
the distanced perspective of a literary prophet who takes the long view of
existence.
Accompanying Ms. Lemper was a sextet playing arrangements that traversed
international styles without settling into one place. The musicians included Henri
Agnel on Arabic guitars, Idriss Agnel on percussion, Philippe Botta on Arabic
flutes and saxophones, Gil Goldstein on accordion, Vana Gierig on piano, and
Romain Lecuyer on bass. Depending on the instrumentation, the music seemed
to move from place to place. Ms. Lemper danced a little, as well as sang in front of
a shifting cinematic backdrop by Volker Schlöndorff that focused on ancient ruins
in Middle Eastern landscapes.
The evening’s most compelling moment was her rendition of the French
songwriter Leo Ferre’s “Avec le temps,” an anguished lament about the ultimate
disappearance of everything. It brought Ms. Lemper and this critic to the brink of
tears.
