Magnifique et transcendant

Brel est maître de la poésie et du langage. La douceur de ses mélodies ne lasse pas et la richesse de ses textes invite à la réflexion.

Ne me Quitte Pas, la mejor canción de amor que existe

Cuando Luis Eduardo Aute, presentó a Pablo Milanés en su concierto de Punto y Aparte en Madrid en 1983 (Entre Amigos, 1983), describió a Pablo como el autor de una de las tres mejores canciones de amor que existen. En orden jerárquico: ne me quitte pas de Jaques Brel; yesterday de Paul McCartney; y Para Vivir de Pablo Milanés.

He loved his audience, they simply adored him.....

When ending his farewell concerts in the Paris Olympia Music Hall, Jacques Brel, came back to the stage, after the audience refused to stop applauding for over 15 minutes. He told the audience: 'thank you, because this justifies 15 years of love'(Quinze ans d'amour). Brel devoted 15 years of his live to continuous touring, playing in every possible music hall, from Russia to the USA. When listening to his CD, we can understand why his audience adored him to this point. Every song is a masterpiece, his talent to incarnate the personages he sings about has no equivalent. As a journalist once wrote: 'each of his song is a Greek masterpiece'.
