When Guido Belcanto released his debut album 'Op zoek naar Romantiek' in 1989 A.D. Flanders and the Netherlands were introduced to a singer who was nothing like anything that had existed in Dutch-language chanson up to that point. Critics and journalists racked their heads over this man and failed, despite frantic attempts, to pigeonhole him at
CD 1 was recorded live with his loyal band the Brotherhood during the last tours and contains 14 of his best-known songs, which are often arranged completely differently live than on the original album versions. CD 2 and CD 3 contain 35 forgotten gems, demos and rarities including many unreleased songs. A musical treasure trove will open its doors that will leave even the most seasoned fans speechless. In the accompanying booklet, Guido himself guides the listener through his fascinating and surprising song archive dating back to the early 1970s.
Where did this exotic-looking figure come from and how should his music be defined? That to this day, more than 3 decades later, no one has managed to place him is in itself highly exceptional, even more exceptional is that during all these years he has surprised us with records whose quality is beyond suspicion. More than15 albums in total with beautiful, poetic titles such as 'Koning en Clochard', 'Zeerover Zonder Boot', 'la Comédie humaine', 'Man Van Lichte Zeden, 'Cavalier seul', 'Plastic Rozen Verwelken Niet’, 'Tache de Beauté', 'Liefde en Devotie' etc...all often underrated masterpieces that have effortlessly stood the test of time and have lost none of their relevance. Belcanto's music sounds timeless and so are his themes: he is the singer of love, lust and sorrow, the troubadour of broken hearts, the apostle of romance, our only, real and true singer of the song of life. With moving consistency, he has been proclaiming his message for 30 years which has earned him a well-nigh iconic status. Whereas in the beginning he caused a lot of controversy on , opinions have since become unanimous: Guido Belcanto is a movement in itself, he is the embodiment of the life song.30 years of a life full of music and passion. High time for an original overview of this exceptional artistic record.
No ordinary best of - plucked from the vast oeuvre but an exclusive triple CD.
