Description

A vivid and dramatic English-language exploration of Barb Jungr's European roots, Chanson: The Space In Between, takes the listener on a moving journey to places known and imagined. Cole Porter's "I Love Paris" is one of the latter but no less evocative than, say, the less well-known--to non-French listeners--genuinely French songs by Jacques Brel: "Les Marquises", "Marieke" and "Ne Me Quitte Pas" ("Don't Leave Me"). Interestingly, Barb sings a new translation of the lyric for the latter, by Des De Moor, rather than the more familiar Rod McKuen words. Original songs, such as "Sunday Morning Stmore… Denis" and "The Space In Between", blend seamlessly with Brel and Leo Ferré songs and Barb artlessly creates her own distinctive take on the Edith Piaf anthem "No Regrets" that closes this set. Barb's throatily distinctive voice, with its well-controlled vibrato, is a delight and her accompanists, mostly London session musicians, fill the spaces in between with elegant skill. --Bruce Crowther
