Brel versus Classics

By carrying the voice of Grand Jacques, the cello brings back to life the imprints that classical music has left in Brel's songs. Playing the game of following in the composers' footsteps, the pianist amuses himself by leaving an even clearer imprint, by including quotes from major works of the repertoire. Everything intertwines, Waltzes with three and a thousand beats, Flemish polkas, Argentine Lovers, Spanish Bourgeois... The narrator takes the audience on this journey and allows them to rediscover the lyrics of the songs, not without a few mischievous winks that reveal the complicity between the three performers.
