It was very dignified, personal, turning this unique opportunity to look towards you: with some views defended intense emotion but blind predictable cold anger or resentment hints. Rather a tribute to the radio and your audience. Which claw shots clear: "strategic mistake" that eventually "the end of the bite."
Well you explain your evening ritual, with this still new and intact fear that gripped you.
You are perhaps a little carried through radio or she has freed you from your natural reserve.
This meeting, this meeting - very nice for us listeners, almost perfect - where "the unexpected occurred" allowed you to hide while wanting to show you in front of others. Your way to express yourself with elegance.
I did not know that you had the status of intermittent, renewable each year. Indeed, this position is uncomfortable now, for these times.
"Open Arms" always struck me, the first book in the series that I discovered in this beautiful blue edition of the "Mercure de France". The same one as Michel Butel; too often forgotten today. I keep very clear the memory of that reading during a fall, and she has created something.
I had been disappointed by the judgment of "magnetic Nights" and "Surprised by the night," appointment radio unavoidable evenings and early nights. Why the removal of this second program? Perhaps, some thought that you accapariez too long antenna Monday night.
It is sure that the judgment of the issues that have become little by little and unavoidable that shape a chain, is still disappointing and unfair acts as a cleaver.
You know, that is the lot of many people: horehound be at the discretion of restructuring and changes of direction. Each new management wants to "mark his territory and power," what has been achieved by deleting the previous ones, and consider their achievements as "unnecessary" or "unworthy of the present time."
As the tsunami early Mathieu Gallet era in summer 2014, notably in France-Music. I understood his message as, "we must get closer to classical radio and hire young people. "Quality programs and producers were dismissed without a word, in an instant.
But what, in this era of immediate profitability or race for profitable info? The king plays his pawns ...
It should bounce back. Go on another radio? Radio Classic Radio Notre Dame or RCF for example, but it is so easy to write; action is another. France-Culture radio was the ideal. Although it also changes, not always as desired.
Animate another show on the same channel?
We should not let you go. Of course, first the shock and amazement. They accuse the coup. But be stronger than those who run away from men, without always knowing what they do, driven by the antenna requirements, figures from Médiamétrie immediate, compulsory cronyism, references to expected and unavoidable lifts .. .
Listeners will be forever grateful for all these years (29) of your highlights in your taste, art of listening; a bit like playing brothers, yet with that frustration of not quite know you. But I understand you: literature passed and comes first.
The sequence of the film "The House of the Radio" has just raised a small sail your show, but I preferred that. I always wished not to know who was with you and how successful alchemy. It was the mystery of this community that met ritually night; that of the evening listeners.
For over 20 years I think I am, sometimes near or a little further. With holes. At that time (circa 1991-2) I think your show lasted from midnight 5, after the newspaper Bernadette Chamonaz until 0:50.
All this time, I always told myself weekdays: midnight begins "Overnight," even if I could not hear. Especially in the presence of another person. Can we listen to several? This situation should be rare.
Midnight was the perfect time to cap off the day. Come and fill in the gap of the day and its buzz.
One listens to you alone (e); all ears. No person shall interrupt this conversation on tiptoe, this special time for discussion, when night fell and everything is calm and peaceful. Only affirmative remain mysterious, bright. With unique intensity, and intimate.
When she scheduled a time to 23:30, we knew that this schedule was not good. One felt that for you also.
Your voice has always sounded young and long as it was important for me to know who wore it.
And always the same circle of 4 names repeated at the end of your show. I thought that with time, they had to get to know you. Were they even become friends? Since all this time ... Last year you announced: Anne Sécheret. I thought that Anne was married Franchini. And, no; when we saw her come back.
You invite rather unknown or discrete names. Sometimes very famous names, which seemed a bit out of tune you. We may say that you could not get through certain signatures.
I never asking about the name of the guest of the evening. It was a welcome surprise.
Names returned more or less often, according to the publications.
Sometimes a subject seemed harsh at the opening of the show, but you knew to make it as simple, by posing questions to the scope of the neophyte. You wanted to be understood. The art of speech is how to make available the most brilliant concepts.
Or when we do not know the work of this writer included, we were not so far excluded, thanks to the true talent of the interviewer.
You gave the desire to be loved writers and their books, speaking poets, sudden silences if enveloping: the most attractive and moving the radio silence. A perfect invitation to read; those books first proposed and then to project his thoughts in those of the author.
The one you imagined low light in a small studio, by this atmosphere born of the night, in this poetic experience. Subterraneously above works ...
I was surprised to learn the intensity of your ever present leaflet even today. A lack of confidence, fear of skidding, not know the direction that could suddenly forking?
You also wrote: "To be the one that is trying to appear". Are you different from your character?
If an author was prolific, questions were rare. Instead, before too much silence detected within seconds, the show could become too long.
We at progressively accustomed to the duration of the night time, although we wanted to extend the concentrates.
We also guessed your smile often on the edge of words, to make this rich and pleasant tone. There have been few times you seemed upset or elsewhere.
Always so this beach reserved for music. At first, one or two pieces came punctuate the course of the show the atmosphere, like to give a dynamic, or give a pause to a rich and dense speech. And then they were silent. But still you keep a moment at the end to give a chance to the jazz piece and expand as listening to a different mode of expression also for the others.
With time, or because the ear is more acute, we heard the movement of the slips on the table; but it was not bothersome. It was known and it was found that you prepared the show.
Besides, how many times have I thought, "All read books, those quantities of securities: did you have the ability to play with the same innocence, the same fun, like Bernard Pivot for example? "Yes, certainly.
And sometimes your laughter discreet and inflaming came punctuate a question, often to an end, as if your thoughts ahead of your own words.
How your interlocutors also reacted pen and colleagues? Some at home, others on the defensive, the reserve, fear or fright?
Great moments and radio listening, for you and for us. That will remain.
This letter is very little respect to what you have brought us.
With this decision has broken something but not everything.
I count on you. Stay on your own.
Yours, with all my respect.
