MELODRAMA, November 2, 2002
This review is from: Les Chansons Eternelles (Audio CD)
Since the word mélodrama has vanished of our vocabulary,it is not easy today to appreciate BERTHE SYLVA,the singing queen of the genre in FRANCE.This collection does not include all her hits:FROU FROU and DU GRIS and a few others are not in the selection.LES ROSES BLANCHES was voted years ago in a survey as FRANCE's all time favorite song.ON N'A PAS TOUS LES JOURS VINGT-ANS is also a famous song that our grandmothers used to sing.It is interesting to notice that the melody of LE TANGO DES FAUVETTES was also used for a MISTINGUETT song:DANS LES BOUGES LA NUIT.This may not figure among your desert island discs,but for it's price,it's worth it.
