Description
'Portrait' - a new collection from Le Chant du Monde - illuminates the work of those universally recognised artists we all know and love, the leaders and the groundbreakers: those for whom we can all agree there was a before and an after . The two indisputable champions of French chanson are Edith Piaf and Charles Trénet. Piaf left an enduring legacy, both to music hall and to musical performers (male and female alike), from Yves Montand to Mireille Mathieu, including Jacques Brel and Annie Cordy, whilst Trénet was the first in a venerable line of great singer-songwriters, a spur to the creative energy of the likes of Georges Brassens, Leo Ferré and Serge Gainsbourg. As for the repertoire of American classics, Billie Holiday is the apotheosis of jazz and blues at their most powerful and most moving whilst Nat King Cole is the epitome of elegance and style, an inspiration to all, be they Frank Sinatra or Ray Charles. For each artist, the songs featured take this collection far beyond a simple Best of , inviting the listener not only on a musical journey, but on a journey of love.
