My favourite vocal rendition of this song. She really lends so much more substance to it, sensitive and strong, most delicately nuanced, the dozens of different tones in just one single sentence, unusual, a little bit rebellious, matches the movie's message extraordinarily perfect. Expressing the European understanding of Ray's film, after having watched Scorsese's introduction, this makes it actually very obvious now. She always sings full of honesty, with true passion and an elegance of mind. Alas an extinct species of singers. This woman is hypnotising. She is like the Sphinx.
....and she has also got all the emotional qualities galore that Truffaut talks about. Of course she didn't know about T.s or Scorseses analyses,his introduction was released about twenty years after her recording. Against the backdrop of their approach and perspective though her rendition becomes even more intriguing. She interpreted and sang the tune solely intuitively, as she always does. In an instant she is able to capture the core and all the subtexts of a song, or movie or book. It arises from deep inside of her, she simply 'knows'. That's why she is not just a singer, she is an artist. This is a real masterpiece performance.
Diese Stimme, dieses Gesicht, die ganze Dame ist ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal. Diese besondere & facettenreiche Mischung, mit diesem gewisse Rrrrhhh-Etwas. Alles zusammen außergewöhnlich und unnachahmlich. Sowas gibts hier nicht und wird es auch nicht mehr geben. Früher war eben doch vieles besser, mit mehr Seele und Charakter, mit Ecken und Kanten... wahrhaftiger ...und vor allem viiiiel schöner.
In the dictionary her picture is displayed next to the definition of sophistication.
Sophistication in perfection.
She is a class of her own.
Unique and exquisite.
