I only post 'La Mer' by Charles Trenet for a French Wednesday, because it turned up in the opening episode of the new series of 'Shetland' last night - mind you it's always great to hear!

La mer - definitely written by Charles Trenet but also with Albert Lasry (orchestra director on a Trenet version in 1947) or with Léo Chauliac on a train in 1943 or possibly both...
The earliest recording of La Mer kicking about on the internet is by Roland Gerbeau (1945)
Many more, at least 228 (https://secondhandsongs.com/work/927...ons#nav-entity) , in 11 different languages
Here's a splendid early instrumental version by Django Reinhardt
To go back to JC's previous post - I'm guessing it was an attempt at ironic contrast given that it was the background music in a run down Shetland hotel used for human trafficking.Comment

Thanks for the links. A nice way to start the day. Interesting to note there that Trenet wrote the song on a train and that Gerbeau was with him at the time. I vaguely wondered which other famous songs were written while travelling by train.Originally posted by Globaltruth View PostLa mer - definitely written by Charles Trenet but also with Albert Lasry (orchestra director on a Trenet version in 1947) or with Léo Chauliac on a train in 1943 or possibly both...

Duet by Fauré written for the daughters of Pauline Viardot-Garcia, one of whom, Marianne, he was engaged to - she broke it off and married someone else.

DSCH's Tahiti Trot, his delightful orchestration of 'Tea for Two'. was allegedly written in an hour while waiting for a train. following a challenge from conductor Nicolai Malko. Does that count?Originally posted by gurnemanz View Post

Brilliant, GT. I was going more for the mixed approach. Francoise Hardy singing 'Wenn wilde Schwäne flieh`n'., before the tunes get stopped at the border.Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post

I reckon the rest were just chellous, G, to show the need to indulge in such Violint activity - bass behaviour, if you ask me!Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post
