This anthology summarizes 50 years of a career punctuated by great songs, marked by great encounters (Piaf, Cocteau, Picasso). On the first CD, you will find 22 songs written between 1953 and 2003, the most beautiful of the poet. On the second, 20 instrumental pieces, less known (except for the credits of the TV series Scoop), remind us that Léveillée composes as well as he writes. Poet, pianist and actor, the septuagenarian is also a performer who, like Brel, Barbara, Vigneault or Ferré, plays and lives his songs as much as he sings them. In words, in music, but also through a booklet filled with abundant archive photos, a discography and a fairly detailed biography, we follow the journey of an intense man, honest, rigorous, fuel to the passion and love of art. From “Frédéric” to “Vieux Pianos”, from “Boulevard du crime” (sung here by Edith Piaf, friend and interpreter of the poet) to “Pour a few arpents of snow”, we rediscover the flawless language and the sense of narration of this great lyricist who, in a few strokes, knows how to sketch atmospheres, paint portraits and give birth to tenacious images. In this double compilation album, Léveillée delivers, before its time, a testament that will bear witness to its immense talent for generations to come. --Pascale Millot
