Details: Jacques Brel knew how to paint human distress with pitiless words and striking music. Adored by some, hated by others, no one can deny that the man who was affectionately nicknamed the Grand Jacques had created a legendary identity by fulfilling his fabulous destiny. This box of 15 CDs takes us into its history and leads us to the very sap of the texts which vibrate and live to the rhythm of the adventure of life. Stopovers are multiple, horizons near or far. Flanders, the unbearable impotence in the face of passing time, the stories of hatred and the madness of love remain the heart of his work. From confessions to cries of rage, with these hidden and suddenly spat remorse, Brel was above all an indomitable animal once on stage. He became a real sailor when he interpreted "Dans le port d'Amsterdam". A flamboyant rebel in "Les Bourgeois", and a nostalgic exile in "Le Plat Pays". Rare are the singers who, like him, have known how to express their passions with such sincerity, depth and seriousness. --Jose Ruiz
