About this product
Maurice Yvain's operettas were immensely successful in the 1920s. The fantasy of the 'swing' music, the catchy songs and the perfectly oiled rhythms were all the rage in the Paris of the Roaring Twenties. But the success of these comedies, with their caustic humour, also owed much to the fabulous texts by Albert Willemetz, considered as one of the fathers of modern operetta in the twentieth century. Yvain and Willemetz's numbers were hummed in the streets and charmed all who hear them - and still do, even a century later! Les Frivolités Parisiennes set out to revive this music, which is still as young as ever. Yes! Was premiered at the Théâtre des Capucines on 26 January 1928 and was an immediate hit this story of a complicated marriage, moving between Le Touquet and London, was to remain on the bill for years to come. The version presented here by Les Frivolités Parisiennes is as close as possible to the spirit of the work's premiere, and includes all available musical material. With the exceptional participation of Clément Rochefort as narrator.

Human wickedness has exceeded that of the Devil himself! It is this dark observation which is at the root of all the spice and comedy in the operetta Le Diable à Paris (The Devil in Paris). Premiering in 1927, it was unearthed by Les Frivolités Parisiennes ensemble, which has partnered with B Records fruitfully to make an album recording of a frolicsome version of this unusual work at the crossroads of art music and jazz. In 2012, musicians Benjamin El Arbi and Mathieu Franot formed InchLes Frivolités ParisiennesInch opera company. It promotes the French light opera repertoire of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, which combines singing, drama and dance, from comic-opera to music-hall. Formed with a chamber orchestra, Les Frivolités Parisiennes regularly calls on singers, conductors, directors and specialised musicologists. Every season, Les Frivolités Parisiennes produces premieres and original recreations, makes recordings, trains young singers in the performance of the repertoire and undertakes educational activities for the young. Les Frivolités Parisiennes company is associate artist of the Singer-Polignac Foundationand resident at the Compiègne Imperial Theater.
It's Jim Bob's 12th solo studio album, a stone cold masterpiece. Featuring 38 minutes of pop, punk rock and devastatingly moving ballads. Limited edition cassette edition. Recorded with the same group of musicians as his previous two chart smashing albums, 'Pop Up Jim Bob' (number 26) and 'Who Do We Hate Today' (34), with trumpet and saxophone from Terry Edwards and violin from Kate Arnold, Jim Bob has described it like he's at a poncy wine tasting InchWhen I listen to this record, I get flavours of Buzzcocks and Dexys, with notes of Teardrop Explodes and Slade. It's big and bold, bright and crispy, earthy and buttery, with a bouquet of barbed wire and an aftertaste of your life somehow never ever quite being the same again. Inch
