Les Chansons Sous L'occupation,
By jqr "Know what free advice is worth" (Brooklyn) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Les Chansons Sous L'Occupation: French Songs of WWll (Audio CD)
Les Chansons Sous L'Occupation offers a nice selection of French pop music from the war era. Many of the songs don't reference the war at all; others make direct reference. It's a little unsettling to think of Nazi officers in occupied Paris sitting and listening to some of these same songs, but if you didn't know what the compilation was called, it wouldn't be the first picture that came to mind.The blurb is 100% on the mark when it comes to the sound quality: all the tunes sound great. The vocalists sound beautiful, especially Edith Piaf and Lucienne Delyle. I think this disc is a great introduction to some of those classic French singers: Yves Montand, Maurice Chevalier, Piaf, Delyle, and Charles Trénet. The Django Reinhardt instrumental, "Nuages" ("Clouds") is pretty spectacular also. If you like French chanson, you won't be disappointed, but this disc is probably most valuable to the novice like me.
