Leonard Cohen | The Essential Leonard Cohen | 2CD

Leonard Cohen was a Canadian songwriter, poet and singer whose recordings gave a distinctive musical voice to love, memory, faith and human uncertainty. His carefully chosen words and low, recognisable delivery sit within arrangements that range from spare acoustic accompaniment to richly layered productions.

The Essential Leonard Cohen gathers recordings from across Cohen’s career, tracing his changing arrangements while keeping his voice and songwriting at the centre.
