Les Compagnons De La Chanson
Les Compagnons De La Chanson 1946 - 1958
The vocal ensemble known as Les Compagnons de la Chanson enjoyed a career lasting more than forty years, one of the finest examples of longevity in vocal groups. Their many performances on the world's stages, including concerts with some of the most famous artists of their times, and the subtlety of their vocal and instrumental arrangements, were just some of the factors that contributed to the exceptional success of a group who remained faithful servants of the French Chanson genre for a whole lifetime. The 36 songs included in this boxed-set - timeless pieces recorded between 1946 and 1958 - are evidence of an extraordinary career; they document a repertoire that is incomparable in its diversity, including works by Charles Trenet, Charles Aznavour, Gilbert BEcaud, Georges Brassens, Henri Salvador..."
