From the start, "Jaurés" surprises with its unusual commitment amid plaintive accordion (Marcel thank you!)
"The city is asleep," one of the most beautiful text Brel, on the edge of Impressionism or rather Turner ("on the river above a patch of sky was burning"). Sublime music, grandiose arrangements, thank you Gerard.
"The Good God", beautiful text, lovely melody a bit spoiled by the orchestration at Francis Lai (or Charly Oleg?)
"Orly" theatrical and dramatic is the actor who sings! Maybe because he speaks, there is a similarity of diction with Bécaud (Nathalie). The singing of the tear, as the successful Lelouch (I know it's called Truffaut).
"Jojo" .On an arpeggio guitar stunningly simple (minor, major, C major) Brel tribute to his old friend disappeared.
When he asks the first "jojo" on guitar, everything is said, he could stop there, as there is strength and belief in this "jojo" there!
"Les Marquises", a masterpiece of orchestral minimalism, the pizzicato strings commes raindrops, Brel finally enters the pantheon of poets (sets by Paul Gauguin).
When I listen canopies, I think that unfortunately too expensive "Antoine", which sold to the media Brel's disease, history of thanking him for the invitation on "Askoy". May he rot for ever eaten shame behind his beard worm at the bottom of the atoll.
Fortunately Pierre Perret travel to great Jacques poignant tribute in "My New Address".
It is not good to grow old or to see a friend crying.
