LEO FERRE

Léo Ferré - Les 100 plus belles chansons [2010] (6 x CDs)

Léo Ferré (24 August 1916 – 14 July 1993) was a French-born Monégasque poet and composer, and a dynamic and controversial live performer, whose career in France dominated the years after the Second World War until his death. He released some forty albums over this period, composing the music and the majority of the lyrics. He released many hit singles, particularly between 1960 and the mid-seventies. Some of his songs have become classics of the French chanson repertoire, including "Avec le temps", "C'est extra", "Jolie Môme" and "Paris canaille". (Wikipedia)

Here are a hundred by an artist, composer, outstanding performer of the twentieth century among many others. This selection offers a rich journey that takes the author's creations to the listener to the texts of Aragon, Baudelaire, of Rimbaud. A superb box that, like all good things, is sipped in small doses with the lyrics before the eyes for those who want to grasp the deep meaning of certain symbolic texts. The essential tracks are there, perfect recording quality and a nice sampling of his songs, from the Parisian years to the years of revolt. (Amazon)

    1. Hi Racati,
      I think I have posed each of the other artists as well. The French have created some wonderful music. More in the future.
      Cheers
