20 Chansons D'or

Gilbert Bécaud

French Music - Released February 28, 2003 | Parlophone (France)

Gilbert Bécaud was one of the most dynamic performers on the French cabaret scene, known as "Monsieur 100,000 Volts" for his passionate and charismatic performing style, and he played to rapt audiences from his commercial breakthrough in 1955 up to his final public appearances in 2000. Bécaud was also an accomplished songwriter, whose 1961 hit "Et Maintenant" became an international sensation in its English-language version, "What Now, My Love." "Et Maintenant" is one of 20 songs by Bécaud featured on this collection, devoted to recordings of his finest songs. 20 Chansons d'Or also includes the tunes "La Pianiste de Varsovie," "L'important C'est la Rose," "C'est en Septembre," "Mes Mains," and more.© Mark Deming /TiVo

Sohy: Compositrice de la Belle Epoque

Orchestre National Avignon-Provence

Classical - Released August 26, 2022 | La Boîte à Pépites

Hi-Res Booklet
The rediscovery of female composers proceeded more slowly in France than in Britain or the U.S., but that seems to be changing with the establishment of the La Boîte à Pépites label; it will devote itself to multivolume excavations of music by women. Charlotte Sohy: Compositrice de la Belle Époque is the label's debut release, covering the works of a composer who was all but unknown until just a few years before the album appeared in 2022. It is well worth the effort of all involved, and it is notable that the three-volume set appeared on classical best-seller charts in the autumn of 2022. One volume is devoted to keyboard music, one to chamber music -- including works with voice -- and one to orchestral music, again including orchestral songs. There's much to explore here, but a preliminary impression would be that Sohy's instrumental music is more distinctive than her vocal music, although there are some talented vocal soloists here; sample the work of the fabulously named Aude Extrémo in the Deux poèmes chantés, Op. 17. In Sohy's music there are traces of her teacher, Vincent d'Indy, of Ernest Chausson, of Gabriel Fauré in the earlier works, but in the best of them, there is an economical wit that is entirely distinctive. Try the Deuxième Quatuor, Op. 33 ("String Quartet No. 2"), which, after a very nervous "Badinierie scherzo," concludes with an entirely unexpected and quite weighty fugue. There is not a work in the set that couldn't hold its own on a program of French music, and the various performers are enthusiastic in their contributions. Those interested are urged to seek out the physical release, which includes detailed information on each work as well as some interesting cartoon illustrations. This is a pathbreaking release, likely to be followed by many more on its label. © James Manheim /TiVo

Légende (Deuxième époque: 1978-1981)

Malicorne

Celtic - Released January 1, 1989 | Le Roseau

It's standard procedure to refer to Malicorne as "the French Fairport Convention," though the comparison isn't really that appropriate. While Fairport Convention took traditional British Isles folk music and put it through a rock & roll filter, Malicorne went clear back to renaissance France for its influences, and imposed less modernism on what it finds. The group was led by Gabriel Yacoub, a guitarist with an exceptional singing voice, and recorded and toured throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s before breaking up. Malicorne's albums are generally now available in the U.S. only as pricey and hard-to-find imports; this album remedies that regrettable situation somewhat by compiling the highlights from the group's last five albums. It opens with a 16th-century anti-war song, sung a cappella, then proceeds to demonstrate the band's remarkable stylistic range as it veers from adaptations of Renaissance dance tunes to modern folk-rock. The band's use of such ancient instruments as the hurdy-gurdy, krumhorn and rebec makes their sound unique, even when guitars and drums predominate. Highly recommended. © Rick Anderson /TiVo

Released to coincide with the tenth anniversary of his death in 2011, Eternel is a comprehensive retrospective of the 40-year career of the legendary French singer/songwriter known as Monsieur 100,000 Volts, Gilbert Bécaud. The two-CD 45-track collection includes the massive hits "Nathalie" and "Et Maintentant," the latter of which is one of the biggest-selling singles in French history, several tracks later recorded in English by other artists such as "Je T'appartiens" (the Everly Brothers' "Let It Be Me"), "Le Jour Ou la Pluie Viendra" (Jane Morgan's "The Day the Rains Came), and a duet with his daughter Emily ("La Fille au Tableau").© Jon O'Brien /TiVo
