Francis Lai – Concerto pour la fin d’un amour (Remix by Play Paul)
“Concerto pour la fin d’un amour” by Francis Lai is a classic masterwork that was first recognized for its highly personal tone and dramatic orchestration. Play Paul’s (Paul de Homen-Christo) reworking of the song gives it a new, contemporary touch by combining nostalgia with an upbeat dance vibe. The updated production adds a vibrant nearly disco-like groove, with minor new wave undertones contributing to its rhythm attraction, but the vocal lines preserve their sad and melancholic base. The mix is clear and well-balanced, ensuring that the rhythmic beats do not overwhelm the song’s deep meaning. This reworking bridges the gap between traditional French romanticism and modern dance music, making it an interesting recreation for newcomers. Whether you appreciate the emotional meaning of the original or prefer the modern, pop direction, this remix provides a unique and listening experience.
