Catherine Sauvage - Larguez Les amarres

Review by Friar John Bamman, OFM Conv.

Catherine Sauvage's album "Larguez Les Amarres" is a stunning tribute to the French chanson tradition. The album features a mix of classic and contemporary songs, all delivered with Sauvage's signature style and grace.

The opening track "Les Feuilles Mortes" is a haunting rendition of the timeless classic. Sauvage's voice is full of emotion, capturing the melancholic mood of the song perfectly. Similarly, her take on "La Vie en Rose" is simply breathtaking. The arrangement is stripped back, allowing Sauvage's voice to take center stage, and she delivers the song with a delicate, yet powerful touch.

The album also features some lesser-known gems, such as "Les Amants de Paris" and "La Valse Brune." Sauvage's interpretation of these songs is masterful, showcasing her ability to bring new life to old classics.

Summary by Friar John Bamman, OFM Conv.

"Larguez Les Amarres" is a beautiful album that pays tribute to the rich history of French chanson. Catherine Sauvage's voice is as captivating as ever, and the arrangements are tasteful and understated. This is a must-listen for any fan of French music, or anyone looking to discover the beauty of the chanson tradition.
