Like a siren, he lured me out of my warm, dry Hotel Cardinal de Rohan in Strasbourg, on a cold, wet evening, just to listen to his melodic voice. In person, he was so charming and expressed much passion for his medieval musical art! I'll never forget him, and am so happy to have purchased his CD to share with others back in the states.

First met him on a windy, cold day in front of the cathedral in Strassbourg. My friend and I had heard the music from afar and made a detour to find out more about it. I bought the CD at once, but at home, it didn't feel "right", something was missing (the special place, the guy, just the atmosphere). Two weeks ago, I was on a folk festival in Lautenbach, Alsace, and very happy to see that he came on a short notice because another concert was cancelled. I wish I'd know more French, because he had a good time entertaining the audience. The church was packed and the concert ended with long standing ovations. I bought another CD ;-) although in doubt that again at home that special atmosphere wouldn't be there. Well, I've been listening to the CD almost every day since then and I am so happy to have two. I like very much when he uses his bariton and his counter tenor voice in the same song. Yep, so there are more people around who just run into this musician and got hooked ;-) .

Was in Strasbourg 2 weeks ago, and was drawn like a magnet when I heard his voice. A large crowd soon gathered outside the cathederal and stood there spellbound while he sang and played. Unfortunately I won't be able to join the 'groupies' as I live in South Africa and don't venture that way too often. Bought his CD and chatted to him. He also does a couple of songs in a more conventional tenor voice on the CD I have (different cover from the ones mentioned above), but I must say its the mezzosoprano that is so special.

I am definitely another, at the tender age of 68.....rather old to be a groupie, but I think that is what I may turn out to be. I saw, or rather heard, Luc while I was on holiday in Strasbourg last week. I first of all heard this beautiful high soprano voice when I was a long way away, doing some shopping, and I rushed up the street to the cathedral to see who this gorgeous woman could be. To my utter amazement, I saw what appeared to be a Hell's Angel, sitting on a stool, tattoos on his arms, bovver boots and bells on his feet, skinhead, long skirt, everything that would normally send me running in the opposite direction! Half an hour later I was still there, mesmerised by the beauty of what he was producing. I went over to buy his CD and we talked for a few minutes. Later that evening my friend and I were on our way back to our hotel after dinner when we heard him again and stopped to listen. To my amazement (and joy, this at 68 years old!) he remembered me from the afternoon, and asked how I was! I am certainly a fan now, and am enjoying his CD very much. although it is so lovely it makes me want to cry! Hi there, all you Luc fans!

We had just come down from visiting the Cathedral when he started singing Stella Splendens from the Llibre Vermell. The power of his voice was amazing. The square in front of the Palais des Papes came to a standstill as people were transfixed by his singing. We're both musicians specialising in medieval music so we stayed to hear his whole performance and then bought his Hortus Dei CD. We were in France again in August in Aigues-Mortes at the time of the St Louis Fête and it was with great pleasure that we heard Luc's voice in the distance. We headed towards it but unfortunately he was just finishing. He is a great admirer of Alfred Deller and his voice is of a comparable quality - he deserves to be really famous.

Quite the most unlikely, but blazingly good, high counter-tenor; take a look at the video I recorded, which doesn’t begin to approach the volume and quality he musters in real life. As a quick look at those two blogs proves, he’s got a lot of fans, but only sells his CDs in person, which is rather frustrating. EDIT: he’s now selling them for EUR 23, and accepts Paypal payments.

Standing in a store near the cathedral, and my first reflex when I heard his voice was to drop everything and run outside. I expected to see an angel, or at least a woman. I was really surprised to see him singing, because earlier on I had made a comment that he probably threatens people for a living. I did buy his CD, and it puts me to sleep almost every night. By the way I'm not the Elena that wrote the other reply. Though I am from Germany, which I thought was a pretty cool coincidence. I'm glad I speak German, because he actually talked to me when I bought it. I was also in Salzburg recently.
