Gilbert Bécaud - Olympia
Review by Martín Dupá
Olympia by Gilbert Bécaud is an album that showcases the French singer-songwriter's talents as a performer and composer. The album features a mix of upbeat and melancholic songs, with Bécaud's distinctive voice and piano playing at the forefront.
The album opens with the catchy "Nathalie," a song about a Russian spy that became one of Bécaud's biggest hits. Other highlights include the romantic ballad "L'important c'est la rose" and the nostalgic "Dimanche à Orly" which reminisces about the airport's golden age.
Bécaud's versatility is evident throughout the album, as he effortlessly shifts from the playful "Monsieur Winter Go Home" to the poignant "Et Maintenant" which became an international hit. The album's title track, "Olympia," is a tribute to the famous Parisian music hall where Bécaud performed many times throughout his career.
