About
Philippe Elan has been one of the most distinctive French chanson voices working in the Netherlands for four decades. Originally from France, he settled in Amsterdam in 1986 and has since built a career spanning solo performances with full orchestras down to intimate piano or guitar accompaniment. His debut album Chansons Classiques, recorded with the Gemini Ensemble, won an Edison award in 1991, and later records including Ma France, Chansons, Quelques Mots D'Amour and Enfer et Paradis have all drawn strong reviews. His repertoire draws on the great chanson songbook, with songs associated with Jacques Brel, Edith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, Jean Ferrat, Gilbert Bécaud and Yves Duteil, alongside original material and pieces written especially for him, such as Je L'espère by composer and pianist Gregor Bak. Over the years he has performed alongside Cor Bakker, Louis van Dijk, Liesbeth List, Thérèse Steinmetz, the Amstel Quartet and the Residentie Orkest, and has played a run of sold out concerts at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
