“It isn’t exactly a concert, not really a play, it’s like nothing you know; it is sad and funny at the same time, because Hélios, a great clarinettist but also a skilful actor, comes to take us by the hand when tears threaten… Music that serves a purpose, as Hélios says of lullabies”

(Ariane Chemin, Le Monde)

“An artistic Kaddish”

(France TV info)

“Extraordinary musical restraint and expressiveness lead to the height of emotion. And to let us breathe, Hélios Azoulay’s humour… A real emotional rollercoaster! You come out shaken and happy at the same time”

(Clémentine Portier Kaltenbach, RTL)

“A musical duty of remembrance”

(France 3)

“Thank you, Hélios, for being the Moses who leads the people out of the desert by showing these pieces I did not know”

(Ivry Gitlis)

“A bold and poignant show”

(Paris Normandie)

“There is nothing stronger than humour as a derisory answer to barbarism… Stefan Zweig spoke of ‘healing through the mind’. Hélios, you offer us the laughter of redemption”

(Christophe Bourseiller, France Musique)
