While fronting Roxy Music in the 1970s and early '80s, Bryan Ferry devised a blueprint for art rock, and as a solo performer, he brilliantly updated the parameters of the pop songbook. Although Ferry's solo career has included several excellent self-penned tracks, he's best-known for his adventurous interpretations of songs from the rock and pop canon. Combining a studied, wry, lounge-singer persona with a genuine passion for everything from Motown and Bob Dylan to the Great American Songbook of the 1920s and '30s, Ferry's performances add a post-modern gloss to pop standards. Following rumors of a reunion, Roxy Music re-formed in 2001 and did several tours during the ensuing decade.

The first Ferry and Roxy collection to include Bryan's most recent work alongside such group and solo masterpieces as Virginia Plain; Street Life; Love Is the Drug; Avalon; More Than This; A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall; Both Ends Burning; Smoke Gets in Your Eyes; Angel Eyes; Over You; The Same Old Scene; Let's Stick Together (Let's Work Together); Sign of the Times, and more. 45 tracks from the most debonair (and complex) singer in rock.

On the album art of Avonmore, the record he released when he was a year shy of 70, Bryan Ferry showcases himself as a dashing young man — a portrait of an artist not as a glam trailblazer or distinguished elder statesman, but rather caught in an indeterminate time between the gorgeous heartbreak of Roxy Music's Avalon and the meticulous solo work that came immediately in its wake. This is Ferry's prime, a moment when his legacy was intact but yet to be preserved in amber.

Bryan Ferry’s concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, London in March 2020 were the triumphant culmination of the UK leg of a scheduled world tour that would be suddenly curtailed by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Pendant sa carrière avec Roxy Music dans les années 1970, Bryan Ferry a créé un modèle d'art-rock. En tant que chanteur solo, il a brillamment actualisé les paramètres du répertoire pop. Bien que sa carrière solo compte beaucoup d'excellents titres écrits par lui-même, il est peut-être plus connu pour ses interprétations aventureuses d'une vaste gamme de chansons rock et pop. Les prestations de Bryan Ferry, personnage raffiné, sarcastique, chanteur de salon véritablement passionné de Motown et Bob Dylan mais aussi de répertoires des années 1930, apportent un éclat post-moderne aux standards pop. Suite aux rumeurs d'une reformation, les membres de Roxy Music se réunissent au début des années 2000 pour une tournée mondiale couronnée de succès.

The DVD collates all the Bryan Ferry promo videos alongside some rare television performances.
