TOUT FINIT PAR DES CHANSONS

Diana van der Bent (vocals) & Paul Den Bakker (guitar)

This album is dedicated to the great artists of the French poetic chanson.

‘Tout finit par des chansons’ is the title of this album. It is a saying, stemming from the very last line of Pierre Beaumarchais’ play Le mariage de Figaro, meaning: ‘everything ends with a song’, and this is what we will do. We hope listening to this album gives you as much joy as we have experienced in making it. Moreover we hope to have inspired you to listen more to the great treasures of French poetic chanson!
