Music reviews of Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris [2006 Off-Broadway Recording]

Music Review: Every Gerneration Should Have Jacques Brel Alive & Well and WIth Them
Rating: 5 Stars

I saw the orginal off Braodway show in 1969 and over the years always had either a LP or a CD. The Orginal is great and so is this revival. I hope that another and another returns and returns to the stage. The lyrics cut to the bone over and over again with a mixture of cynism and love that no one else has. This CD and the orginal CD are not identical. It has some songs that the orginal does not have I like the additons very much, in particular "Childhood". But, "Madeline" and "Brussels" are on the orginal and really are great songs. For that reason alone you should buy both, or consider creative downloading.

What this CD has that the orginal does not have is Gay Marshell. She owns her songs. It is as if Brel wrote with her in mind. Until I heard her sing I did not appreciate the female lead songs such as "Sons of" and "Marieke".

I prefer by a slight margin the orginal versions of "Amsterdam" and "Jackie" over the ones performed here. There is more of edge in the older version that I prefer over the newer one, but that may be more a matter of what I have become accustomed to. If you want to buy only one of the two I suggest this one because of Gay Marshell but both are great. I like comparing the songs. There was a revival in London. That CD has the same songs as the the orginal off Broadway show. There is not a cut on the English CD that I consider better than the versions on the other two, but simply because they are singing the songs of Brel it is a CD worth listening to and better than most. The songs are timeless every generation should have its own show.
