Born on October 22, 1921, Brassens has become over time the central pillar of French song. In the 1950s, his career exploded. Success will never leave him. Georges Brassens is a man who read a lot, with a patient and hardworking, cultivated, erudite. He took his time to chisel each of his songs, in search of the correctness of each line, of each rhyme, of each sentence. A goldsmith of words. Love, religion, death, women, everything is subject to derision. Teasing or abrasive, often mocking, everything is treated with humour, mixing mythology and scenes from ordinary lives, he remained deeply a poet with always great sensitivity and infinite tenderness. This autumn will be the centenary of his birth, and we celebrate with this 5CD set featuring 100 titles.
