Chansons volent...

Charles Trenet’s whimsical French chanson recordings, collected here on EPM Musique, capture the mid-century vocalist at his most playful—his distinctive tenor dancing through witty, poetic lyrics with the ease of someone born to entertain. The label’s reissue work preserves these charming period pieces, where Trenet’s gift for melody and narrative unfolds across intimate orchestral arrangements that define the golden age of French popular song.
