This 2024 reissue of Jacques Brel Is Alive And Well And Living In Paris captures the acclaimed musical revue that brought the poetry and passion of Belgian chansonnier Jacques Brel to English-speaking audiences. Originally created by Eric Blau and Mort Shuman, who translated Brel's evocative French songs into English, this production showcases the powerful performances of Elly Stone, Mort Shuman, Shawn Elliott, and Alice Whitfield.
The album preserves the intimate theatrical magic of this celebrated musical revue, where Brel's deeply emotional songs about love, loss, and the human condition are delivered with raw intensity and artistic sophistication. This GM Éditions release offers vinyl collectors and theater enthusiasts alike the chance to experience one of the most successful interpretations of Jacques Brel's timeless catalog, bridging the worlds of chanson française and American musical theater.
