Monsieur mon passé

Description

The magic (and the paradox) of Ferré's work lies in this delicate balance between refrain and learned music, goualante and poetry, with its shifting boundaries and imprecise contours. Forced, to exist as a composer, to go through song, Ferré offers some of his most beautiful pages while dynamiting its most conventional codes. In doing so, he allows us to glimpse musical perspectives previously unsuspected. A box set of 9 CDs celebrating the founding decade, where song became an art. From Saint-Germain-des-Prés to Paris Canaille, from Le Piano du pauvre to Jolie môme from La Chanson du Mal-aimé to Les Fleurs du mal, it is a unique repertoire of unparalleled strength and originality that we are allowed to revisit.
