JULIETTE GRECO - GRECO CHANTE BREL
One of
the most striking albums we've ever heard from legendary French singer Juliette
Greco – a beautiful tribute to the music of Jacques Brel, sung in a style
that's quite different from her earlier work! Greco is quite advanced in years,
and almost speaks more than sings – but with a commanding presence that brings
a very different flavor to Brel's famous compositions – almost giving them the
spirit of a small piece of dramatic work – which, in some way, was the original
intention of the tunes! Backings are never overdone, and Greco's voice is
stunningly upfront in the mix – really dominating the whole thing as she moves
through songs that include "Amsterdam", "Ces Gens-La",
"Ne Me Quitte Pas", "J'Arrive", "J'Amais",
"Fils De", "Le Tango Funebre", and
"Bruxelles". ~ Dusty Groove
