5.0 out of 5 stars The French nightingale, October 4, 2000

The Name Mireille Mathieu mostly releases two reactions: total adoration or total ignoration. the latter because she often was regarded as a mere copy of E. Piaf. Despite the fact that she totally refused to sing Piaf songs at the beginning of her career which emphazises her uniquiness. Adoration because Mireille is a living Vulcano full of emotions and talent, which she always proves when on stage. She doesn't only have total comand over her powerful voice, (as many singers fail to have nowadays), but she also has a fantastic charisma, making her one of the most powerful singers ever ! France and the French song can be proud of such a cultural ambassador. Anyone who owns at least one CD of Mireille Mathieu will have an outstanding taste and collection.

I may be biased as Mireille is my favorite singer, but the power and emotion does these songs justice. You cannot miss with this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, December 6, 2005

I love Mireille Mathieu, and I really like this collection. Although it includes a few songs that are not my personal favourites,I still cannot fault the disc, due to the other songs which more than make up for it. The love songs included in the selection are absolutely stunning. The beauty of the melody, the depth of the lyrics, Mireille Mathieu's splendid voice and her beautiful French make for a lovely combination.

A few words about two of my personal favourites: "Mon Dieu" is a touching and passionate plea to God to let her hold on to her beloved a while longer.

"L'hymne a l'amour" is a wonderful and powerful declaration of love, in which the woman asserts that whatever happens, she doesn't care as long as her beloved loves her back.


Most of the other songs are very well known classics which I'm sure need no introduction (please note that I'm not very knowledgeable about Edith Piaf, so I apologize in advance to fans who know more about her songs than myself).

All I can say is that I love this disc, that I've played it loads of times and still keep playing it, and that you're really missing out by not acquiring it. The songs are touchingly and passsionately performed, Mireille's voice is great, and you cannot fail to be emotionally affected, especially if you understand French. If not,I believe Mireille Mathieu can really make you wish to learn the language.
