Robyn Archer - Que Reste-t'il?

An epic journey through two centuries of French song.

Best known throughout the world for her performances of German cabaret, Robyn Archer has from time to time turned her gaze to the classic cabaret traditions of Paris and Vienna.

In this concert she traces French song from Le Chat Noir and the songs of Toulouse Lautrec’s favourite, Aristide Bruant all the way through the twentieth century to the end of the 1960s. There are songs by Jouy and Le Grand, Ferrer, Trenet, Monnot, Gainsbourg and songs as sung by Piaf, Damia, Trenet, Montand, Bardot and a host of others. The songs with satirical bite will be sung in English with translations by Archer and Morley - but the love songs are in French all the way.
