Songs Recital
- “Each performance is a journey, each song a stop along the way.
Over the years, through my song recitals, I have explored a variety of worlds — blending humour, poetry, and finely crafted melodies.
Here is a glimpse of the performances that have marked my path.”
🔹 Issue de secours (1996) – Un premier spectacle où la chanson devient un refuge, un espace pour dire et raconter.
🔹 J’vais bien… (1997) – Entre ironie et tendresse, un regard musical sur le quotidien et ses absurdités.
🔹 Gammes (1998) – Des notes en liberté pour un tour de chant où la musique s’amuse avec les mots.
🔹 L’Omnibus de 14h52 (2006) – Un voyage en chansons, entre humour et mélancolie, où chaque arrêt réserve une surprise.
🔹 Ce soir, Relâche (2010) – Quand la scène s’invite dans la chanson, un spectacle qui jongle entre théâtre et musique.
🔹 Tour de chant ou tour de rein (2011) – Un regard décalé sur le temps qui passe, entre éclats de rire et moments suspendus.
🔹 Juste une histoire (2019) – Des tranches de vie mises en musique, entre introspection et narration imagée.

Juste une histoire :
“Juste une histoire” is a musical performance born from a meeting — a shared desire to perform together and let the songs resonate in a new way. After several solo piano–voice experiences, Daniel Duret is joined here by three Geneva-based musicians to create a song recital full of nuance and complicity.
Each song tells a small story from everyday life — sometimes tender, sometimes amusing, and at times a little strange. The universe is poetic and theatrical, close to reality, always infused with emotion and a touch of humour.
L’Omnibus de 14h52 – A Musical Journey
A musical journey between humour and melancholy
“The 2:52 p.m. Local Train” is not just a song recital, but a true musical journey — an escape where each song becomes a station, a stop along the way through worlds that are by turns whimsical and poetic.
In this imaginary train, the audience embarks on a journey through everyday life, memories, and unexpected encounters. With finely crafted lyrics and melodies in varied shades, the performance moves gracefully between lightness and emotion — between humour and nostalgia.
