About Nolwenn Collet

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Native women from New-Caledonia, (a small island in the Pacific) singing and clapping in their hands to cheer for their cricket team. My minder had brought me to the match, I was sitting on the grass, the sun was shining, music and joy in the air ! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bach: Violin Concertos / Menuhin, Enescu, Monteux Bill Evans Trio, How My Heart Sings! (Original Jazz Classics Remasters) Maurizio Pollini, Stravinsky: Three Dances from Pétrouchka - Prokofiev: Piano Sonate No. 7 - Webern: Variationen - Boulez: Sonate No. 2 The inspiring duet Menuhin/Enesco in the Bach double violin concerto is as unique as moving. I always get energised by Maurizio Pollini's piano playing and the music of Stravinsky. Each year at Springtime, I listen to the magical How My Heart Sings! Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Pliés and Balance (6/8 16x8 + 2x8 Alizées)” I composed Alizées a few days after my father passed away. I love this piece because it expresses many mixed emotions, sadness, gratitude, hope.. When I see ballet dancers dance to it it brings me joy.
