Monique Morelli - Pierre Mac Orlan

Review by Behzad Khosravifar

Pierre Mac Orlan, the album by Monique Morelli, is a beautiful tribute to the French writer and musician of the same name. Morelli's voice is haunting and ethereal, perfectly capturing the melancholic and nostalgic mood of Mac Orlan's poetry and songs.

The album features a selection of Mac Orlan's most famous works, including "Le Quai des Brumes" and "La Complainte de la Butte." Morelli's voice is accompanied by a simple but effective arrangement of piano and accordion, which adds to the album's intimate and introspective atmosphere.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "La Chanson des Péniches," a beautiful ballad about the life of barge workers on the Seine. Morelli's voice is especially powerful on this track, conveying the sadness and hardship of the workers' lives.

Pierre Mac Orlan by Monique Morelli is a beautiful and moving tribute to one of France's most beloved writers and musicians. Morelli's voice is both haunting and beautiful, and the simple arrangements allow the poetry and songs to shine through. Highly recommended for anyone who loves French chanson and poetry.
