Cecile Corbel - live performance - 2007 tour in Brittany
"Once upon a time were a gypsy with golden lips, a knight-errant, a woman in love with a dolphin, a ocean of milk, deers in garments of fog, another knight, wounded and mourned by a maiden in an orchard, a talking horse, a female pirate, a damned girl on the moor… Once upon a time was innocence.
This album is the fruit of many years spent on the roads with my harp. On stage or in a studio, Breton legends, Irish fairies, Scottish fogs, they all were my fellow travelers and a boundless source of inspiration…
I hope you will like this album as much as I enjoyed writing and recording these songs.

"Il était une fois un gitan aux lèvres dorées, un chevalier errant, une femme qui aimait un dauphin, une mer de lait, des daims en habit de brume, un autre chevalier, blessé et pleuré par une vierge au milieu d’un verger, un cheval qui parle, une femme pirate et sulfureuse, une fille damnée sur la lande… Il était une fois un temps d’innocence."
Ce disque est le fruit d’un travail de deux années passées sur les routes avec ma harpe. Sur scène ou en studio, les légendes de Bretagne, les fées de l’Irlande, les brumes de l’Ecosse ont été en secret mes compagnons de voyage et une inépuisable source d’inspiration pour tout cet album…
J’espère que vous l’aimerez autant que j’ai aimé écrire et enregistrer ces chansons.

"The new princess of Celtic harp"
-review in "Muska" magazine march/April 2008 Slovenia
“Corbel belongs to this new generation of European folkies, - In the sense that she is happy to take crusty old folk standards and reinvent them for the 21st-century audience”.
- Sydney morning Herald – February 2007
"C.C. mirrors her singing, limpid, fragile, but confident. She draws her inspiration from the Breton tradition, from Breton laments and magic tales". -
Liberation – dec 14 2006
"Cecile is a citizen of the world, and her voice flows as she tells about exile, rough seas, lovers parted by life, migrations".....
CHORUS – les cahiers de la chanson N° 54 hiver 2005-06
"Cécile draws her inspiration from traditional melodies she renews with hints of « pop » and folk music (...) She sings with an exquisite grace"
- World MD
"Cécile Corbel sings like a nightingale"
Liberation – nov 18 2006
"She imposes an enchanting universe with a clever mix of traditional Irish songs and Breton tunes".
20 minutes – nov 2. 2006
"Sometimes an artist comes along with such a terrific style that they not only bring new life to a tradition and a new way of hearing or looking but leave an indelible mark that is deeper than the superficially skilled.
