Take a Trip Back in Time to Pre-world War Ii Era Paris, Where Intellectuals, Artists, Bon Vivants, Bourgeoisie, Dandys, Military, Socialists, Fascists all Mixed Together in the Cafes and Clubs of One of the Most Vibrant Cities in the World. The Presence of the Accordion in These Recordings is a French Trademark, Harkening Back to an Era When the Pace of Life was Slower, but the Subtext of Angst Became the Predictor of the Turbulent Years that Would Mark the End of the Decade and Continue Into the Next. Features Songs from the Legendary Edith Piaf, Emile Vacher, Jean Gabin, Gus Viseur, Freres Peguri, Damia and Many More.

4.0 out of 5 stars never leaves my cd booklet, December 23, 2003

This review is from: Cafe De Paris (Audio CD)

this is one of the best accordion collections i've ever heard, if you are interested in "french musette" this is where its at
great istrumentals, great vocal numbers, theres even a rare track with Django Rienhardt playing on it too (track#12), i can't recomend it enough!
also-if you want to hear some great modern accordionist check out Rob Burger, Yann Tiersen(amelie soundtrack)

I RECOMMEND THIS CD TO ANY AND EVERYONE WHO ENJOYS LISTENING TO FRENCH MUSIC. LISTENING TO THIS CD MAKES YOU FEEL AS IF YOU ARE GOING BACK IN TIME....IN AN OLD FRENCH CAFE. THIS CD IS PERFECT FOR A WINE AND CHEESE PARTY OR A ROMANTIC EVENING AT HOME. I ESPECIALLY RECOMMEND THIS CD TO A PERSON WHO IS LOOKING TO BUILD A FRENCH MUSIC COLLECTION, BUT DOES NOT KNOW WHERE TO START. I ALSO RECOMMEND PURCHASING 'CAFE PARISIEN' OR 'CAFE DE PARIS', ALSO AVAILABLE ON AMAZON.COM

This is a wonderful collection. Talk about putting yourself on a sidewalk cafe in Paris. I've had such fun with this collection.
