Recital a la Maison de la Radio (1961) / Gala Antibes Juan-Les-Pins (1962)
Description
Previously unreleased tracks by Léo Ferré, an absolute icon of French chanson. In the early 1960s, Léo Ferré left the cabarets where he sang solo at the piano for music hall stages. There, standing behind the microphone, his style gained power. He continued to sing about the Paris of lovers, the popular, nocturnal, and marginal Paris. "His songs sway between jazz and java," as Yann Plougastel puts it, and sometimes take us into a waltz, like this unreleased song, written for a short film in 1949: Paris-Taxi. But this was also the period when Léo Ferré sang the poets, Apollinaire, Baudelaire, Verlaine, here Rutebeuf and Aragon, which he set to music as if "under dictation, and the dictation comes from elsewhere."Buy Recital at Maison de la Radio (1961) / Antibes Juan-Les-Pins Gala (1962) at the best price
