Details: Amazon.ca Winner of the Ma première Place des Arts song contest in 1998, Nicola Ciccone immediately established himself in the musical landscape of Quebec with The Beggar's Opera. The Montrealer of Italian origin with a beautifully hoarse voice offers a universe woven with stories of everyday life and people in distress or in search of love. Ciccone, who composes while accompanying himself on the piano, indisputably has a pen that does not lack charm. “J'regarde l'automne” is heavy with greyness, while “Au cégep” turns out to be a pleasant student anthem. Unfortunately, the music sometimes lacks relief. Directed by Tino Izzo who is also a guitarist and bassist and signs the arrangements, The Beggar's Opera gives pride of place to the scratchy voice of the young man who sings in French and Italian. The seduction operates. --Diane John
