Words by Jacques Prévert
Maintenant j'ai grandi
Portraits de Betty
Droit de regard
A quoi revais-tu
On frappe
Et ce qu'il voit est si beau
Enfants de la Haute Ville
Son nom bientot inscrit...
La fontaine des innocents
La rivière
Comme c'était prévu
Paris est tout petit
Fille de Mars, garçon d'Avril
Tiroirs des chaises
Songs of Caruso
Les chansons les plus courtes
On
Mouvement des navires
A Paris ces messieurs du Tout-Paris
Chanson pour vous
Marjo Tal shunned publicity and rarely gave interviews. As a composer and a pianist she was solely concerned with creating and recreating music, and was subservient to this her entire life. The few magazine articles about her published through the years reveal her passionate and self-conscious artistry. Sparse photographic material shows a beautiful woman with sensual and melancholic features. Tal survived the war underground. Her career as a pianist peaked in the mid 1960s and she then focused more on composing. At the end of her life she emigrated to Israel.
