La Petite Fenetre

Description

Jacqueline Thibault (Laurence Vanay) often worked for other artists at the legendary Chteau d’Hrouville studio as arranger, keyboardist, co-composer, and assistant sound engineer. Between sessions she sometimes managed to record her own music. Several years after her two acknowledged masterpieces, “Galaxies” and “Evening Colors, she was able to bring together the tracks for “La Petite Fentre” (The Little Window). As the 1970’s ended, trouble with the Chteau finances meant that again it was impossible for her to present her work to interested record labels. Instead, “I worked in another recording studio in Paris for fashionable artists,” she said, “and I managed after a time to resume and complete my unfinished songs.” By that time, the French record companies were not interested in instrumental music anymore. The recordings therefore found themselves asleep on Parisian shelves, pending potential better days. Sublime compositions: unique, melancholic and very powerful. Six-panel color insert with rare photos and Jacqueline’s remarkable story. Limited to 500 copies, housed in a deluxe tip-on jacket.
