The man known for his work with the Lhasa, Jean Leloup, Jeszcze Raz, Daniel Bélanger and Fredric Gary Comeau orchestrated 11 songs by the late poet, whose lyrics were adapted into French by Bïa and Maxime Le Forestier. Lively without being exuberant, his reading of Vissotsky's pieces is both personal and respectful: it highlights the quality of these verses almost unknown here, allows you to savor music that mixes tradition and modernity and even to taste the mother tongue. of the poet, since "Koni Preveredlivye" is sung in Russian. The redundancy of the melodies and the more or less assured voice of Desrosiers may put off some listeners, but Volodia is such a rich work that one learns, over the course of listening, to tame the interpretations of the singer and to appreciate them. --Nicolas Houle
