About

For many years, the Chamber Choir 'Les Cris de Paris', renowned for its commitment to contemporary creation, has had the habit of ending its shows with an 'Encore'. Specially written by the arranger of the band, and derived from songs outwith the world of classical music, a bold new repertoire has been built from Madonna, Zappa, Björk, Kylie Minogue and Spears (Britney…) but also Brel and Gainsbourg…

To celebrate its 10th birthday with a wink, Alpha has supported this special venture that scrambles the boundaries and the brains. The pure pleasure of music making is to be found here, exclusively realised by the singers, including all the instrumental and percussion effects, with a technical level of virtuosity from each of the singers; and finally a quality and the creativity in the arrangements which brings new life to the original pop songs.

Special project means special packaging. The Encores album has little in common with their usual collections, so Alpha have given it a distinctive identity with a tactile circular metal box.
