The French-speaking Flemish singer, composer and lyricist Jacques Brel was born in Brussels in 1929. In the 1950s, he broke away from his bourgeois social background of his family and started an artist’s life in Paris, where he initially wrote chansons and earned a living by performing in small cabarets and bars. Over the following years he achieved worldwide fame with his chansons, which were alternately harsh and melancholic Roland Kernen has selected a number of the wonderful chansons written by this most creative artist to produce this unforgettable chanson medley.De Franstalige Vlaamse zanger, componist en tekstschrijver Jacques Brel (1929-1978) spreekt ook vandaag de dag nog tot de verbeelding en zijn muziek is nog altijd geliefd. In zijn Brel-medley voor harmonieorkest verwerkte RolandKernen een aantal van de prachtige chansons die deze onvergetelijke artiest schreef: Vesoul, Amsterdam, Ne me quitte pas (Laat me niet alleen) en La valse mille temps.Mit seinen Chansons, die mal barsche, mal melancholische Töne aufweisen, erlangte der flämische Sänger, Komponist und Lyriker Jacques Brel in den fünfziger und sechziger Jahren des vergangenen Jahrhunderts Weltruhm. Auch weit über seinen Tod im Jahr 1978 hinaus kennt und liebt die Welt seine Lieder. In seinem Medley für Blasorchester verarbeitete Roland Kernen einige der wundervollen Chansons dieses unvergessenen Künstlers. Auteur, compositeur, chanteur, acteur, cinéaste mais avant tout poète, Jacques Brel (1929-1978) a magnifié la chanson française.Par la justesse de ses textes, par son talent d’interprétation, cet artiste - obsédé par la mort et amoureux de la vie - a su trouver les mots qui, génération après génération, continuent de nous toucher. Près de trente ans après sa mort, sa voix, sa désespérance et sa rage résonnent toujours en nous. Autore, compositore, cantante, attore, cineasta ma soprattutto poeta, Jacques Brel (1929-1978) ha rappresentato magnificamente la canzone francese. Con i suoi testi, il suo talento di interpretazione, questo artista - ossesso dalla morte e innamorato della vita - ha saputo trovare le parole che continuano a commuoverci anche trent’anni dopo la sua morte.
