Présenter Léo Ferré permet de redécouvrir l’un des plus grands personnages de la chanson et de la poésie françaises.
C’est du moins ce que comprendra aisément le grand public. Les aficionados et surtout les héritiers de Léo sauront en plus qu’il s’agit de redécouvrir un apôtre inconditionnel de la musique.
Ferré était un musicien dans l’âme, même s’il a surtout chanté. Mais c’est la musique qui a porté son œuvre multiforme, qu’elle soit poétique ou littéraire.
