Music reviews of Brel Vol. 1 (Master Serie)
Music Review: The enfant terrible of the New Wave French Song!
Rating: 5 Stars
Brel was the most legitimate Ambassador of the irreverence made song. His moods, inspiration and heartfelt expression far beyond his dissipate existence are solid arguments to think to acquire this selection.
One more thing: Will you able to forget once you listen: Ne me quite pas, for the rest of your life?
Description of Brel Vol. 1 (Master Serie)
French exclusive compilation, part of their 'Talents Du Siecle' series. These titles have all been digitally remastered using SBM 20 bit mapping technology. All are packaged in a luxurious three fold digi-pack with exclusive artwork for the French market. These will only be available until the end of October and are very limited. Tracks include, 'Jaures', 'Ne Me Quitte Pas' and 'Les Vieux'. 1999 release.Jacques Brel achieved fame through his performances in France, but he was born in Belgium and identified himself strongly with his linguistically divided native land. His acidly humorous lyrics target the hypocrisies of groups as well as individuals, with special attention to Belgium's Flemish population, the military, and the bourgeoisie in general. At the same time, some of Brel's most affecting songs contain passages in Flemish, and many of his lyrics show a pronounced fondness for his "flat country." Brel's irreverent approach to life was sharply reflected in his music and films and can be compared to that of Bob Dylan in the U.S. and Vladimir Vysotsky in Russia, with whom he also shared a capacity for tongue-twisting patter not heard since the early days of Danny Kaye. On this CD, "Le Plat Pays," "Au Suivant," and "Les Bourgeois" illustrate both the somber and raucous aspects of his extensive repertoire. --Edward Killham
