Vincent Niclo - Romantique (2016)

The stunning new album from leading French singing star, Vincent Niclo. Born into a musical family, Niclo’s first teacher was his father, who taught him all about music and educated him in music theory. The turning point came for Niclo when he heard Luciano Pavarotti singing ‘Nessun dorma’ on the radio. The sheer power and emotion of the great man’s voice so moved Niclo that he realised that singing was the path he also wished to follow. After several years of training with Paris Opera’s Thierry Dan, supported by a successful modelling career, Vincent Niclo was ready to realise his dream. A successful period in music theatre followed and his lucky break came when he sang for Celine Dion, who immediately invited him to open her series of acclaimed, sold-out concerts. Other top level collaborations have followed, including with the acclaimed singer, Charles Aznavour; leading composer, arranger, conductor and pianist, Michel Legrand and the great Placido Domingo. “Singing is my whole life” says Vincent. “It’s who I am, it’s how I’m happy and I couldn’t imagine ever doing anything else.”
