You can see from the title I am a devoted Aznavour fan and have been for 40 years. I have attended several of his performances and even met him once briefly. He is an extraordinary singer/songwriter and performer. He is 81 years old now and although he still records, he doesn't tour much outside France as he used to. He has, however, made a number of DVDs. Unfortunately, they have only been released in PAL format. I have so many Aznavour recordings. I bought this because it has a nice compilation for CD but it is by no means definitive. It's interesting, because I also have the Spanish version of this CD, "Sus Mas Grandes Exitos" which has the same cover, but a slightly different mix of songs. The French version omits "Que C'est Triste Venise" and "Mourir D'Amour," two of my favorite songs, but they are included on the Spanish. There are so many more than 20 songs which I consider Aznavour classics, that it would take many more CDs to contain. That said, I highly recommend this CD for both the diehard fan and the casual listener. It's a wonderful example of the work of this extraordinary man. He has never made a bad recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars What is he singing about??, May 29, 2003

This review is from: Aznavour: Ses Plus Grands Succes (Audio CD)

Recently I saw the movie "The Truth About Charlie".. the movie was just okay.. but there was this older gentleman singing throughout the movie.. and his name is Charles Aznavour.. I had never heard of this guy but there was something about his voice that was amazing.. I did some "Internetting" and decided that this was the CD to buy.. I believe I made a fine choice.. I have no idea what he is singing about because it's all in French.. but it doesn't even matter.. This guy can sing.. I also ordered a CD on which he sings in English.. I can't wait to hear it.. There is a duet with Edith Piaf.. I need to do some research on her too... so much music to discover.. I'm very glad I've discovered Charles Aznavour..

You can take Edith Piaf, Gilbert Becaud, Yves Montand and put them together and don't even come close to Aznavour. Had the distinct pleasure of seeing him at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, as well as, the Olympia Theater in Paris, France, and other venues throughout Europe. Aznavour is the quintessence of the interpreter of songs (ala Sinatra and Ella), as well as, a most prolific writer of songs in the realm of Jimmy Webb, Gershwin, etc. His emotions and sensitivities are evident in EVERY performance that I have had the pleasure to witness. NONE BETTER!!!!! In addition, these traits are evident in every recording available by him. BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!!
