Disappointing through not enough information on listing. I do not like live recordings appearing on CDs when I am expecting the studio cuts that I wanted to buy! This double CD, although containing some classic material was very disappointing for me, as most of the 'big titles' are live. Piaf was a wonderful artist, both live and in the studio but as one who prefers studio recordings, I feel a little cheated. If sufficient information had been available in the listing or on the CD packaging, it would have saved me from wasting my money!
Allons enfants de la Patrie, le jour de gloire est arrivé. Excellent from beginning to end - many of her most popular songs all on one ridiculously cheap CD.
The only song missing is Édith's version of La Marseillaise (if Carlsberg had ever written National Anthems - they would have written this one).
Incredible that such richness and depth of sound could have emanated from such a frail form - this is not the voice of a "little sparrow", the range and power is immense. Listen to this album and understand why she was so revered - she put the 'belle' in... more info
France just blew out of my speakers in to my life. So much for so little. A whole nation on two CDs. That Edith is a great and accomplished singer is in no doubt. This CD gives us Anglos instant access to a huge range of her work. Live, duets, struggle, life, love, jazz, popular, they are all here. Standard barer songs, that you will think you have know all your life, even, if like me, you can not understand what the lyrics mean. I wish I had paid more attention at school. Vive la republic!
