No lament on the misfortunes of the life of an artist in times of pandemic, no statement in favor of the #metoo movement either: the 37is Victoires de la musique, broadcast live, Friday February 11, on France 2, from La Seine musicale, the Boulogne-Billancourt complex (Hauts-de-Seine), found a good-natured rhythm and a polished tone.
