“

Tunes come from across the celtic spectrum.The tunes are finely played and an atmosphere deftly created using musical devices not dissimilar to those used by Mike Oldfield in Ommadawn / Hergest Ridge. This should be in any celtic music collection.

“

Hélène Martin fait partie de ces chanteuses qui ont défendu la poèsie avec une rigueur sourcilleuse. Elle est d'ailleurs l'auteur d'une anthologie de poèsie chantée primée par l'Académie Charles-Cros. Fruits du commerce qu'elle eu avec les Aragon, Raymond Queneau, Pierre Seghers, René Char ou encore Jean Genet - d'une abrupte beauté, son interprétation du Condamné à mort, présente dans ce coffret fait autorité -, ces cinquante-quatre chansons sont une exceptionnelle compilation qui court de Tant de sueur humaine (1962) à Pauvre Rutebeuf (1983).

Aragon, l'un de ses poètes préférés, écrivait à son sujet : «Et tout à coup sa voix, comme un cadeau, chaque mot qui prend sens complet. Ces phrases qui vous font entrer dans un pays singulier, on n'est plus seul, on n'est plus avec les importuns.

Yves Montand: La Chansonnette

GuessNot4Me — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 18:04:00 GMT

“

"La Chansonnette" is a two-disc collection of material spread evenly between Montand's jazzier studio sessions of the 1960s and a live date from 1981. The studio tracks are excellent throughout, not necessarily his biggest hits, but delightful nonetheless (especially "Le Jazz et la Java")... The selection could be improved, but there are few better Yves Montand compilations available. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

Dead Can Dance: Spiritchaser [Repost] (1996)

GuessNot4Me — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 12:52:27 GMT

“

Listening to Dead Can Dance is a transcendental experience. Enriched with dedications to the living Gaia, their creations subsist in natural and other worldly realms. Initially crafting songs which augmented their Australian roots with Gothic and Renaissance traditions, the group have since grown to encompass a hybrid of global sounds. On Spiritchaser the enchanted souls of founding members Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard shine in this, their most ethereal LP to date.
