A great French musicologist, François RIBAC is also an appreciated composer in today's scene. After "Musiques Pour La Scène" (1989), "La Nef Du Roi Moselle" is a kind of never-heard cross-over opera, created to accompany Didier DOUMERGUE's show. Due to his great musical knowledge, he blends Progressive rock (Jean-Pascal BOFFO), medieval music, classical opera choirs, new musics influences (ART ZOYD, UNIVERS ZERO...) and German classical music (BRECHT, WEILL...). A true new and fascinating blending ! Female singer Eva SCHWABE is guesting on the album, as for the Rodemack Choir (This is a preserved medieval village sit along the Moselle river in France)."Le Regard De Lyncee" (2000) is his newest opus, sounding pretty much like a contemporary opera. Not to be missed !
