Although he has already passed the age of 80, the famous French singer-actor Charles Aznavour does not know how to stop. Aznavour composed nineteen chansons for a musical comedy about the tragic life of the nineteenth-century painter Toulouse-Lautrec, the lame artist who became famous for his colorful posters for the Moulin Rouge but unfortunately lost his grip on his life. He became an unworldly
… and paranoid alcoholic and died at the age of 36. In the end, a theater performance did not get off the ground, but Aznavour's songs were immortalized on the album Insolitement Vôtre. Apart from Aznavour with his warm baritone voice, some songs are sung by or with singer Serge Lama and singers Isabelle Boulay, daughter Katia Aznavour, Lio, Hélène Ségara, Annie Cordy and Mayra Andrade. The songs on Insolitement Vôtre are melodic and atmospheric and are accompanied by an orchestra and an occasional backing chorus. (SvdP)more
