To mark the release of Béart's tribute to Béart(s) from Polydor, Emmanuelle Béart will be making the rounds on TV to promote her father's work. We are offering the essential compilations of this giant of French song: a 3-CD digipak '50 plus belles chansons' (re-release) and a single LP 'Ses plus belles chansons' (new release).
A singer-songwriter, the artist achieved success from 1958 onwards. Hits quickly followed, including "Bal chez Temporel", "Chandernagor", "L'eau vive", "Qu'on est bien", "Les grands principes", "Le grand chambardement", "La vérité"... Three decades of songs that have all become classics. Talented melodies, poetic and intelligent lyrics, his songs are tender, sometimes caustic, often visionary. One never tires of Guy Béart's work, so rich that with each listen, new subtleties are discovered. "Béart is one of the big five," said Charles Aznavour. No doubt Aznavour was comparing Béart to Brassens, Trenet, Brel, and other giants.
