Chansons

Description

THE MOST COMPLETE ANTHOLOGY EVER MADE OF BORIS VIAN’S SONGS Boris Vian is a major writer of 20th-century French literature (L'Écume des jours, L'Herbe rouge, L'Arrache-coeur, L'Automne à Pékin, Vercoquin et le planton, Trouble dans les Andains...). He was also a very prolific singer. He wrote more than 500 songs! His short life (he died at the age of 39) allowed him to complete barely half of them. The songs presented here in the 10-CD box set covering the period 1945-1962, whether sung by Boris Vian himself or by his performers, display incredible modernity, as if their author, and perhaps that was his tragedy, had been very ahead of his time. Over the years, the number of artists who have performed Vian is immense. > Box set 10 CDs > 255 tracks including 140 rare or unreleased > 64-page booklet > Limited edition
