Details: Product Description Discover Arthur H's greatest hits, artfully rearranged for the piano, as well as a surprising collection of previously unreleased cover versions. In short, an intimate, splendid album and probably his most accessible to date! Amazon.ca A voice, a grand piano, a stage, the decor is set. In a halo of red light, the silhouette of Arthur H bent over the ivory and ebony keys galvanizes the audience waiting for the sound of the first notes. Then comes the voice, a little muffled, a little broken, but so soft, which shells the words as if to extract each tone, each meaning. For this solo lap, the one who defines himself as an upset crooner has chosen these intimate moments, these exceptional moments, to invoke the spirit of old songs, those which have contributed to making him a reputation as an artist in go. The "Cool jazz", "The Moon", "The Black Baron" therefore appear in a different light. The former leader of the Bachibouzouk Band also erects an altar to the goddesses of song by taking up one of the titles of Brigitte Bardot ("Naked in the sun"), Brigitte Fontaine ("Hollywood"), or even Billie Holiday ( "The Man I Love"). Arthur H does not forget the great Gainsbourg to whom he pays homage with "L'Alcool". The whole thing is delivered with an astonishing know-how. --Valerie Dupouy
