Claire Elzière is accompanied by Grégory Veux, pianist and singer with the vocal group Têtes de chien, and Dominique Cravic, founder of the jazz musette group Les Primitifs du Futur and former guitarist with Henri Salvador (Jardin d'hiver).
On Pierre Barouh's legendary Saravah label, Claire Elzière recorded two albums of songs by Pierre Louki and one of songs by Allain Leprest.
In Japan, produced by the Respect Record label, Claire Elzière tours and records numerous albums from the chanson patrimoniale repertoire. (Chansons d'amour de Paris, Paris Cinéma, Rencontre à Saint-Germain-des-Prés, N'oubliez pas Gréco).
Claire Elzière is a must-see. She's well worth the effort. It's in the vein of Brassens, Prévert, Ferré, you name it! La nouvelle vie ouvrière.
Whether it's a slap in the face or a kiss, you'll get it, you'll take it and you'll want more. The extreme complicity between Claire Elzière, Grégory Veux, an exceptional pianist, and the guitar of Dominique Cravic, former guitarist for Henri Salvador (Jardin d'hiver) is a precious and playful showcase.

Words... words alone and proud, round words, whole, superb, able to dance in the open space, and contain within themselves all their meaning, their juice, their poetry... words in freedom. (...) An exchange of love and beauty between a "passeuse de mots" and her friends, who came to share with her precious, intense and rare moments. Atuvu.ca.montreal
In the tradition of great performers, Claire Elzière plays with accuracy and restraint. There's little stage thu in her performance, and her gestures are sparing, but have a powerful intensity, as in Japanese Noh. It's a fine show, sparkling with intelligence and humor. Claire Elzière is a rare bird. Irène Sadowska
