French musician and singer Stanislas new album has been released on April 28.
I'm really impressed with the sound, melodies & arrangements. It's a very beautiful album.
My favorite songs are "Le Zouave" & "Septembre" but to be honest I like all the songs on this CD...
Oh ! I almost forgot to tell you that I'm singing and playing the harp on the song "Les Nuits Urbaines".
I feel very honored to have my name on such a beautiful project.

There still are some gigs to perform before the end of the year and before we "hibernate" for a few weeks and start to set a few harp chords on new songs.

On December the 18th will be released in Japan the "Ghibli Set II" album by the Japanese DJ Daihi Dance. He once again made me the honor of featuring his album with a very kawai cover of Arrietty's Song.

On February the 26th 2014 the movie Terre des Ours (Paramount) will be shown on French screens.
I've composed for that film a few songs and music, and the French actress Marion Cotillard provides the voice-over for that gorgeous, 3D wildlife film.

I wish you all with a little advance a very Merry Christmas, in a warm home I hope with your family or friends, and I send you many hearty thoughts for this new year to come that we are soon to rush in !
Sincerely yours
Cecile Corbel

It's a collection of covers of the Japanese singer Yumi Arai (one of the greats of Japanese music, who just celebrated her 40-year career)
I was given the honor of singing two songs for that record, in a very 70s spirit.
I even played the Parisian in front of the Eiffel Tower for the album's release video !

I'm also glad to announce the broadcasting of a 52-minute documentary on breton music, showing on May 26 on the japanese TV channel NHK.
For that documentary entitled "Amazing Voice", I had the priviledge of being a guide that would present my region.
Several musical sequences were shot, including a song that I could never forget, played solo, just harp and voice, on the windy cliffs of my home region, Cap Sizun.
My harp-maker Marin Lhopiteau as well as Alan Stivell and Yan Fanch Kemener also honored this film with their presence and music.
I'll be in Japan between May 20 and May 23 for a special NHK show around the documentary series.

Arrietty will be released in Germany on June 2nd (Universum)
The soundtrack will also be available then (Wasabi Records)
The movie will be released in Great-Britain during the summer.

The french release of "Arrietty, le petit monde des chapardeurs" is drawing near, and I would like to pay hommage to Simon Caby, talented musician and arranger, who's working with me for a long time now.
Without his advices and talents my little melodies would have stayed anonymous. He transformed my songs into jewels. I will always be grateful for this.
