Poet as much as musician, Léo Ferré was too rebellious and too inspired to fit into the mold of the post-war music industry. For many years, only the so-called "Left Bank" cabarets of the capital welcomed this Monégasque who didn't really look the part. Thanks to a few renowned performers, particularly Catherine Sauvage, his songs nevertheless reached a much wider audience. From the 50s to the early 60s, this anthology traces Léo Ferré's rise and the affirmation of a style that refused all concessions; a journey that led him to the biggest music-hall stages (Bobino, Olympia, Alhambra). For fifty years, he developed a continuous creative drive that made him the essential poet of the second half of the twentieth century, with an authoritarian anarchist tendency.
