Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the political upheavals of the previous year, the esteemed French poet and vocalist delivers a sweeping, defiant, and deeply romantic collection. The majestic symphonic arrangements perfectly frame his dramatic, recitative vocal style, elevating his anarchist philosophies to the scale of classical tragedy.
