Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Leave it to the French to show their cosmopolitan side with this wide-ranging double CD that often resembles a whirlwind package tour of Paris. The first disc contains everything from a Francophone version of the pop bolero "What Now My Love" to a jazz medley of children's songs including "Frère Jacques" and "Alouette." The Paris of movie soundtracks flickers to life as a chanteuse huskily emotes "L'Amour des Poètes" or nostalgically evokes "Moulin Rouge," while a melancholy brass section introduces Cole Porter's "I Love Paris." Disc 2 moves us into the historic district as a spritely accordion combo makes a less extravagant and downright pleasing presentation of the Gallic soul. "La Valse des As" is an especially impressive demonstration of the accordionist's art with lightning fingerwork that tickles away the cobwebs. All in all, it's a spectacularly fun, occasionally chuckle-inducing collection well worth the ridiculously low price. --Bob Tarte

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Variety of Treasured Artists!, March 20, 2000
By "snowbdr" (Chico, CA) - See all my reviews
I bought this CD a couple of years ago and it's still one of my favorites. There's a great variety of singers and styles of songs to listen to over and over again without getting tired of them. I played it for my hosts on the student exchange program I was on in France and they were surprised I found such a great CD and they all sung along to the classic songs that fill this CD compilation. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to get samples of Edith Piaf and other greats!

1.0 out of 5 stars Bland, poorly performed French "classics", April 6, 2007
I purchased several CDs to use as ambient music for a French play. This was, by far, the biggest disappointment. Non-descript performances, dull arrangements, this is like Parisien elevator music. There are the obligatory accordian instrumentals, some of which are poorly performed. The vocals, all uncredited, try to approximate the feel of the originals, but come up short every time. No Edith Piaf here! If you're looking for excellent performances and good recordings, I recommend "Cafe De Paris" and "Stars of French Music from the 30s and 40s", both double CD sets with songs performed by talents like Chevalier, Piaf, Yves Montand, and Josephine Baker. There, you're getting the real thing, and not badly arranged, badly executed Musak.
