“This is a unique corpus of recordings, issued for the first time, made by the man who placed Quebec on the cultural map of the French-speaking world. The avowed paragon of Georges Brassens and Jacques Brel. Indeed Felix Leclerc overturned song in an incredible manner. Apart from his poetic elegance, he is the exemplifying trustee of the chansonnier, the song-writer who plays his own music. In 1950, only Charles Trenet and the Roche-Aznavour duo could boast as such.” Claude Colombini-Fremeaux
