“N°4” by Jacques Brel - album review

features in: Album Chart of 1959 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1950s

In early 1959 Brel renewed his contract with Philips, and the fourth album was soon to follow. “N°4” was all recorded in September 1959, and entirely orchestrated by François Rauber, resulting in a cohesive and passionate set, where Brel delivers his most stirring and theatrical performance to date, culminating in the utterly magnificent “La Valse À Mille Temps”. Try waltzing to THAT Grandma!
