Andi ChorleyAu printemps (English: In the Spring) is the third studio album by Jacques Brel. Also known as Jacques Brel 3, the original record was released in 1958.
Collecting Brel ranks it 13/14 and writes:
Rating: 2.9 out of 5.
Though this album includes some of Brel’s best compositions (songs such as ‘Dors Ma Mie’, ‘Demain L’On Se Marie’, ‘Au Printemps’ and ‘Litanies Pour Un Retour’), what lets it down is the inconsistency – perhaps due to Brel switching between Andre Popp and Francois Rauber’s orchestras throughout the record. This lack of cohesion makes for a very disjointed listen, and tracks like ‘Dors Ma Mie’ – which utilise sophisticated string arrangements and swelling refrains – jar uncomfortably with simpler songs like ‘Le Colonel’.
