Belle Ville [Import]

Product Description
The Foundation of Alexis Hk's Music Can Be Found in the Works of the French Founding Trio of "Chanson" (Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens and Leo Ferre). The Lyrics Are Deep as Well as the Music, Even Though Most of the Arrangements Are Signed by Olaf Hund (Founder of the Electronic Music Label "Musiques Hybrides"). Alexis Hk Wanted to Give a Warm Feeling to These Songs and Has Succeeded, Even Though He Has Trouble Identifying Just What Makes a Song Warm Or Not. "Belle Ville" is a Great Album that Will Remind You at Times of Serge Gainsbourg.

Customer Reviews:

Still the best collection of Berlioz's lovely songs.......2006-01-31

Berlioz didn't challenge his artistry in these 29 songs, which are mostly simple but very appealing melodies with basic piano accompaniments (Berlioz couldn't play the piano and didn't write difficult music for it). Taken a handful at a time, this 2-hour collection from DG, which was acclaimed when it first appeared in 1994, provides much sweet listening.

The four soloists are variable: von Otter is magnificent (her contribution was recorded separately in Stockholm, the other singers in three spearate locations!), and Thomas Allen rises to a high level of artistry even in the simplest songs. Tenor John Aler is uncomfortable in French, I would guess, and tends to mumble. Soprano Frnacoise Pollet, being a native speaker, has perfect diction but a wobbly voice that tends to spread out in loud passages. The biggest letdown is the piano accompanist, Cord Garben, who is routine and unimaginative. His lack of spark affects every song, unfortunately, although the overall level of performance is always good enough to provide enjoyment of these rarely recorded songs.

For someone who doesn't want to explore this deeply into Berlioz's vocal writing, von Otter's five solo songs have been excerpted on a marvelous recital album that features an incomparable Les Nuits d'Ete. In all, I found this 2-CD set highly enjoyable, although there are no hidden masterpieces to be uncovered.
