Just saw Stacey, Jim & Art perform in Indiana last evening. Before, I have only had 2 truly memorable concerts I've attended...now I have 3. 🙂 I often get nervous the first time seeing my favorite artists perform "live", fearing their "live" performance might be unduly-inferior to their studio work. After savouring this trio's stunningly-impeccable performance, I'm guessing their audio-engineers don't do much work fixing imperfections during post....wow!

Such a complex song and so masterfully sung by Stacey. I know the Shirley Bassey version; it's all histrionics but Stacey sings it with a different kind of skill, changing from tragic to soaring hopeful elation. I love those soaring parts. The melody was written by Jacques Brel and the words by Rod McKuen - I like the lyrics. I've listened to it a few times now; it's the kind of song which starts haunting you after a while.

[@alyoshakaramazov8469]

That Voice! It lives in my dreams! And Jacques Brel, too. It doesn't get any better than this!

[@brianarsuaga5008]

I had to listen to this twice to decide if I liked it. It's so different from what I usually listen to. I like it much better the second time, this is excellent.

[@CathyS_Bx]

That crappy poet Rod McKuen did a good job on the English lyrics here, that's for sure.

[@kevinryan4857]

I LOOOOOOVE Stacy Kent and this arrangement of If You Go Away... My personal opinion, however, is that quite unfortunately both versions French and English of the gorgeous Brel song lack the necessary dynamics causing everything to feel beige and bland. Any singer can sing anything they choose. Ms Kent is a rich example of that truth. Personally I feel that having chosen to sing Ne Me Quitte Pas Ms Kent is in way over her head. Her absolutely marvelous vocal style isn't dramatically copacetic with this particular piece of music 🎵🎶

[@kevinryan4857]

@@EricMiglinJazzI admit that saying "in way over her head" might be hyperbole. I understand what you're saying about saudade and the exquisite Stacy/Jim Brazil bossa vibe... I just think that when doing this monumental 3 act Greek tragedy of a song, one must bring to it something as heart stopping as was brought by the legendary interpretation by Ms Nina Simone. She tore it up and reinvented it. Her cover in French burned with broken embered passion. This song needs the singer to bring something new to the stage or to the recoding session. Stacy's very lovely arrangement and vocal timbre sound to me like shades of Doris Day, another singer that i have ears for, but not one I would ever imagine singing "Ne Me Quitte Pas". In fact Day had far more drama in her voice than has Kent. Stacy and Jim are brill with their sound of saudade. Nobody does it better. But "If You Go Away" isn't in my opinion a song that requires something as esoteric as saudade. Brels song is a broken plea, a supplication, a a wept prayer... to not be left alone. There's drama there. It's all semantics, a concoction and spouting of personal tastes. I'm French. I love cuisine. When eating certain hardy foods, let's say a piece of Charolais beef, I love to accompany it with a deep red, rich Gigondas de Bourgogne because it marrys sublimely with the cut of meat. In Stacy's take on Brel, I wasn't quite able to connect with that particular culinary euphemism. And still in my book Stacy Kent and Jim Tomlinson can do no wrong.
