A very cool stereo edition of classic work from Jacques Brel – with titles that include "Jef", "Au Suivant", "Bruxelles", "Le Dernier Repas", "Les Bourgeois", "Les Toros", and "Les Bonbons". (French, Vocalists)LP, Vinyl record album
Two of the greatest French songwriters of the postwar years – each dealing with a variety of topics, served up here in a very unique setting! The package features five CDs that each bring together themes that are strong in the music of both – love, death, injustice, and so on – with alternating songs from the classic Phillips recordings of George Brassens and Barclay material of Jacques Brel – so that the songs play back and forth in a very cool way, showing different perspectives on these themes – all handled with the wit and vision that make each singer great! Each CD also begins with a bit of interview passages – again having Brel or Brassens discuss the topics, before the CD then launches into their songs. There's a massive 107 songs in all – and the set's a great overview of some of the strongest work of these legendary talents! (French, Vocalists)CD
