After seeing Spleen, I had to have a good Leo Ferre cd. Leo Ferre’s debut, ‘Chante Baudelaire’, does not fit easily into one genre. When you buy a Leo Ferre album, you know exactly what you’re getting! This is my first Leo Ferre Album and i must say i am blown away.
A Une Malabaraise make listening to Leo Ferre like being in some sort of time warp. L’etranger actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Leo Ferre’s face. Tu Mettrais L’univers is one of the best records ever. Don’t judge Le Soleil on the first listening. This track is a great song that still never gets old. Get Chante Baudelaire and turn on L’albatros if you are going to sip your wine late at night. A Une Passante hits the heart. Le Flacon - To me, this is the best song on the Chante Baudelaire. La Servante Au Grand Coeur one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Abel Et Cain (2:10) a good melody. La Geante stands out to me for its audacious melody and sheer beauty. |titile| is the kind of record that makes you remember why music can be so addictive. Charming song, great melody. La Musique marked the continuation of Leo Ferre in style evolution. After you’ve listened to La Beaute, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. I hope to keep hearing Leo Ferre works for a long time to come. Recueillement had me crying as I was able to relate so well. As always, Leo Ferre’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. Ciel Brouille pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. Une Charogne is almost impossible to review. Le Vert Paradis is one of these floating songs.
