5.0 out of 5 stars10 Brel Treasures among 34 Songs
By JS on November 2, 2005
Format: Audio CD
This is a great 2-CD set of 34 songs containing 10 of Brel's best ever. If you need translations, you might also buy Infiniment (B0002PUHGU), a 2-CD set of 40 songs containing abridged translations by Amazon.com reviewer Thelma F. Blitz for all 40, including 24 of the 34 songs on "Jacques Brel [Limited Edition]." 7 of Jacques Brel [Limited Edition]'s top 10 songs are translated in the Infiniment liner notes.

To improve your knowledge of French, you may also want to purchase a book with all of Brel's French lyrics as well. I recommend the book "Jacques Brel, Oeuvre Integrale" published by Robert Laffont S.A. in 1982 (ISBN 2-221-01068-X or -8). More readily available from Amazon.com is the collection of Brel lyrics in the book "Tout Brel" (ISBN: 2264033711).

Best Songs on Disc 1:

"Amsterdam" is one of Brel's most famous songs. It's about the sailors who disembark in this Dutch port and how they deal with the vicissitudes of their lonely lives and the dreams that haunt them once they reach the shore.

"La Fanette" is Brel's poignant song of teenage love found and love lost one July on the beaches of the Belgian coast. Brel acknowledges she was beautiful, and he was not, but he sang up a storm for her to prove his love and she loved him back. Then he laments how he could ever have been crazy enough to believe all the things he thought they'd share together, and laments that he believed that much in himself, as he describes how he found out the hard way their relationship was over.

"Ne Me Quitte Pas" is Brel's most famous torch song, in which he uses exquisite imagery to press his suit with a girl who has already left him, descending in the end into abject desperation as he struggles to maintain a link, any link at all, with the object of his love.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsLes Marquises
By David Stanley on June 8, 2002
Format: Audio CD
In 1975 Brel followed the earlier example of Paul Gauguin and settled at Atuona on the island of Hiva Oa in the remote Marquesas Islands group of French Polynesia in the South Pacific. Three years later Brel passed away and was buried in the town cemetery a few steps from Gauguin. Brel's 1977 song "Les Marquises" included on this album has become almost an anthem of the island: "Veux-tu que je te dise gemir n'est pas de mis, Aux Marquises". Listener take care, many have been drawn on pilgrimages to the legendary South Seas by the haunting sounds of this little masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 starsPower and passion
By Pillie Meyer on August 15, 2000
Format: Audio CD
The only thing missing from this collection of classic songs are some of the Dutch versions. The passionate late 60's are well reflected and give a real feel of the social environment at that time. This without sounding outdated. For a younger listener raised on poppy songs, Brel is a bit of an acquired taste however.

4.0 out of 5 starsBrel's later work
By Merilahti Kristiina on September 19, 2003
Format: Audio CD
For someone who knows most of Brel's music this may not be that necessary. But if you are a true fanatic, this is a must for following reasons:
'Fils de' - this is the only record I've found that includes this lovely, powerful plea for equality and protection of life, Brel at his most loving and sincere, leaving cynicism completely. And how the music builds up behind his voice and carries him... Who doesn't want to sing with this orchestra?
'Comment tuer l'amant de sa femme?' The eternal question handled like only Brel can. A true philosopher notices a much better solution, of course. Hilarious in the same way Monty Python's songs. This one is also hard to find from other records. If you don't know French already, get somebody translate this! It's worth it!
'Vesoul' is a tongue-twister and hilarious, too, and the arrangement is absolutely breath-taking! This one can be found on other records, too, but the last songs in his native language are rarities. Fun to listen, and as impossible to sing along as 'Vesoul' - you just need to be native to get your tongue working like this.

5.0 out of 5 starsBREL AT HIS VERY BEST
By ALAIN ROBERT on December 1, 2001
Format: Audio CD
BREL's originals albums are available in 2 for 1 edition or in their original sleeve LPS presentation.That cd like all of BREL from 1962 to 1968 is terrific all the way.CES GENS-LA is a masterful attack on bourgeois life(only BREL could act out a song like this).It's shows why he was the best actor among the singer of his generation.FERNAND about the death of a friend is moving;GRAND-MERE is hilarious because it's about a gay woman.Very few artists could compete with JACQUES BREL in terms of showmanship.People who saw him performing live have fond memories of this great artist, who gave everything he had before he quit performing live in 1966.As years go buy,we realize that BREL has remained unique and will never be forgotten by his fans.
