Album Notes & Community Reviews

Primarily an album of translations, 'Canzoni' features De Andr茅 adapting works by Georges Brassens, Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen into Italian. The lush, orchestral arrangements by Gian Piero Reverberi provide a rich backdrop for his warm, resonant baritone. It served as a critical commercial success that highlighted his skills as an interpreter of international folk traditions.
