From his early days in Parisian cabarets to his first recordings, Marc Ogeret embodied the art of interpretation with rare intensity and intelligence. Singing L�o Ferr�, Guy B�art, Aristide Bruant, Fran�ois Villon, and Pierre Seghers, he united poetry with commitment. This 2-CD set, curated by Jean-Baptiste Mersiol, highlights his earliest recordings, spanning traditional and popular songs to contemporary hits, and reveals a generous interpreter of unmatched nuance. French song in it's most authentic, committed form. Patrick Fr�meaux
