L\u2019objet de cette ovation debout\u00a0? Le t\u00e9nor fran\u00e7ais Benjamin Bernheim invit\u00e9 pour un r\u00e9cital de m\u00e9lodies dans le cadre du Festival d\u2019Aix. La veille, ce m\u00eame public saluait un autre fran\u00e7ais, le baryton St\u00e9phane Degout. Alors, peut-on dire que le chant lyrique fran\u00e7ais se porte bien\u00a0? Assur\u00e9ment\u00a0! De ce c\u00f4t\u00e9-l\u00e0, non plus, notre \u00ab\u00a0\u00e9quipe de France\u00a0\u00bb n\u2019a pas \u00e0 rougir. Le t\u00e9nor \u00e9tait accompagn\u00e9 de la pianiste chinoise Qiaochu Li, toute en d\u00e9licatesse de toucher et de sensible lecture, immens\u00e9ment attentive. On a m\u00eame entendu dans la salle lancer un \u00ab\u00a0<i>la pianiste est formidable<\/i><i>\u00a0<\/i><i>!<\/i>\u00a0\u00bb. Et, certes, cette ancienne pensionnaire de l\u2019Acad\u00e9mie Europ\u00e9enne de musique m\u00e9ritait bien qu\u2019on commen\u00e7\u00e2t par elle. Elle fait part \u00e0 deux dans <i>L\u2019Invitation au voyage<\/i> d\u2019Henri Duparc. \u00ab\u00a0<i>L\u00e0 tout n\u2019est qu\u2019ordre et beaut\u00e9&#8230;<\/i>\u00a0\u00bb. Et surtout, elle fait oublier l\u2019absence de l\u2019orchestre dans les sublimes <i>Nuits d\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9<\/i> de Berlioz. Benjamin Bernheim c\u2019est ce type de t\u00e9nor, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9l\u00e9gance fran\u00e7aise, \u00e0 la diction impeccable, h\u00e9ritier direct d\u2019un Georges Thill, et fr\u00e8re de Julien Behr ou S\u00e9bastien Droy. Ajoutons des aigus d\u2019argent, lanc\u00e9s sans un soup\u00e7on de vibrato et une \u00e2me profond\u00e9ment artiste. L\u2019\u00e9cole de chant fran\u00e7ais se porte plut\u00f4t bien. Les <i>Nuits d\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9<\/i> sont un enchantement. Les m\u00e9lodies espagnoles, Monpou et Turina, ou argentine, Alberto Ginastera, sont de petits bijoux de d\u00e9licatesse. Le t\u00e9nor se fait plus ample avec des m\u00e9lodies de Puccini. Puis le ton change avec des adaptations de classiques de la chanson fran\u00e7aise. <i>Douce France<\/i> de Trenet, <i>Les feuilles mortes<\/i> de Kosma et Pr\u00e9vert et un tr\u00e8s beau <i>Tant qu\u2019on a que l\u2019amour<\/i> de Brel. Un hommage \u00e0 Pierre Audi et Jos\u00e9 Van\u00a0Dam pr\u00e9c\u00e8de des bis g\u00e9n\u00e9reux\u00a0; Werther <i>Pourquoi me r\u00e9veiller<\/i> et Rom\u00e9o et Juliette <i>Ah<\/i><i>\u00a0<\/i><i>! L\u00e8ve-toi Soleil<\/i><i>\u00a0<\/i><i>!<\/i> finissent de mettre le public sous le charme.
