Les Chansons De Prevert 1934-1962

There's no doubt that Jacques PrEvert remains one of the greatest French poets of the 20th century. A carefree Parisian figure, he had an innate feeling for words, rhymes and sounds that appeared first in his poems, but later also in plays, films and music. The songs of PrEvert have been recorded by a great many contemporary artists; not only his own poems set to music, but also titles he wrote for films, and some, like "Autumn Leaves" (composed by Joseph Kosma), are today great international standards. In this 3CD set, Olivier Julien focuses on the musical career of his poetic works through the timeless voices of performers from Lys Gauty and Piaf to Yves Montand and Marlene Dietrich.
