[...] In proposing this discography, Philippe Proost did not claim have completed a thorough job. It is here, after all, that the catalog raisonné of his collection. Or rather, the catalog of one of his passions, the fruit of his research, his excavations, his quest and his wanderings in stores, markets and flea markets in the auction houses, exchanges and fairs and on what is called the canvas - this gigantic nebula, if it has faults and flaws, at least gives any collector worth the name can find happiness everywhere around the world.
The message from this catalog in a few words: to discover by Simenon ... ears.
