Brigitte Fontaine - Brigitte Fontaine Est…Folle
I-Tunes, MP3, France
Saravah
The beautiful marriage between voice/thought with arrangement. Brigitte Fontaine, along with the great arranger Jean-Claude Vannier made a 1968 classic, that is slowly crawling across to the English language world. Vannier of course is greatly responsible for Gainsbourg’s Melody Nelson album, as well as countless others. The beauty of his work is his playfulness and being true to the material on hand as well. Its a balancing act that he never ever trips over that thin clear rope. Fontaine, I think, is an artist who likes to work with others, and for her, that is her strength in that she doesn’t lose her identity or sense of purpose. A classic piece of music making.
