Search - Georges Brassens :: Mauvaise Reputation

A very complete compilation of his classic songs.

12/22/1998

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the quintessential Brassens, containing 24 selections, among which over 20 are masterpieces such as : Le Gorille, Le parapluie , Ballade des dames du temps jadis, J'ai rendez-vous avec vous, Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux, Les sabots d'Hélène etc... Brassens sings of love and life . Here you find poetry, humor, pathos, wit, and earthy gallic " joie de vivre " or plain irreverence .Nowhere will you see puritanism in these songs ! The sound is pure, Brassens' voice comes through very clearly : this is excellent value and pure enjoyment. A classic selection ."

"hi, I am a Brassens fan from West Africa. first of all, I do not think that the reviews I read were about Brassens. In case they were, then something is wrong here. Brassens is or should I say was French, and his music has nothing to do with Brazil, left alone Samba or Rumba. in Addition, you don't dance to Brassens, you listen to him. furthermore, Brassens was a humourist, a great musician, composer, poet and writer.Please do your homework before you write things like this."

"Ideal pour perfectionner son Francais avec des jeux de mots et souvent de l'humour au 2eme niveau >il a une voie particulier pour la satire"
