Interviewer: But coming back to the music, what sets these personalities apart? You are generally said to have given back

a youthful boost to beautiful French singing and French diction. And besides, you have a musical personality also very italian

Alagna: That's right. And often you notice that when I sing in Italian, my voice is different, clearer.

It is the language that wants this : the voice is placed higher while French is more guttural. It is thanks to the presence of

two languages in my musical universe that I was able to bring my own diction in French. An example : the rolled "r" (Italian style)

is obsolete in French: it was the way Maurice Chevalier was singing. Today, it's "cheesy", precious, too sweet.

(the interviewer specifies that, to illustrate his point, Roberto Alagna sings: "Salut, demeure chaste et pure" while rolling the "r").

As for the contemporary French "r", it is a bit harsh. It's not pretty either (ditto, he sings pressing the tight side of the French "r").

That's why I made a mix of both, Italian and French. The secret is not to say exactly the "r": it is soft without being rolled

but we hear it anyway.

Wuppertal, Allemagne, vous attend! : French language tourist brochure : nd [1936] : Wuppertal welcomes you! : Wuppertal wartet auf Sie! : cover by mikeyashworth

2

A French language tourist brochure selling the delights of Wuppertal, the German industrial city that was formed in 1929 by merging the industrial cities of Barmen and Elberfeld along with the communities of Vohwinkel, Ronsdorf, Cronenberg, Langerfeld and Beyenburg. It gives details of the city's sights, attractions and industries as well as giving information as how to get to the city, travel around and use Wuppertal as a base for further travel.

The brochure makes much mention of the city's unique public transport monorail, the Schwebebahn and this appears in various images. Although undated the brochure appears to be from 1936 as a local correspondant has kindly researched the tram and bus route details that places the information to between May and November of that year. It should be noted that it makes references, such as in street names, to the contemporary National Socialist dictatorship.

The front cover, describing the town as 'the main city of the Pays de Berg', sees a flaxen haired maiden - an image that would have been to the liking of the regime.

Some weeks before she died, Françoise Dolto was interviewed by a colleague about her life.

The same year, her daughter Catherine Dolto interviewed her mother for the same purpose.

She was one of the first doctors to affirm that babies were sensitive to language and that it was necessary to talk to them, explain them things, consider them as little human beings in their own right.
