Details: Amazon.ca While Aznavour had been working with pianist Jeff Davies since the fifties (who co-wrote "Le Temps" and many others here...), it was with writer Françoise Dorin that he co-wrote one of his standards: "Que c'est triste Venise," which he would adapt into Spanish and even Italian. The rest of this album, devoted to tracks from 1964, also features the superb "Hier encore" (covered by Bruel during his Zénith 2000 concert, with Aznavour joining him on the final night). During the sixties, Aznavour enjoyed regularly re-recording his old standards, notably "Je hais les dimanches," co-written with singer Florence Véran for Piaf and Gréco in the very early fifties. Also included are tracks from the late fifties ("Ce sacré piano," "Le Palais de nos chimères," "J'en déduis que je t'aime," "Parce que," written with Gaby Wagenheim). While some of the songs are arranged by Paul Mauriat, "Avec" is performed to music by Franck Pourcel, the other leading figure in orchestral versions during the fifties through the seventies. The booklet inside this disc, taken from the Aznavour box set, includes the song lyrics. --A.B.
