This could have been 5 stars. I put four because, I'm no expert on french songs. But this appears to be an excellent selection. Lucienne Boyer's "Parlez-moi d'amour" which I've obviously heard before was a revelation -- I forgot how good it was -- I play it over and over. A good introduction, I think. By the way, the songs and recordings are mostly from the 30's.

Les Grandes Chansons Francaises is a collection of the old original Frenceh artists. This music C.D. is well worth the buy, if you appreciate and admire the old traditional French Chansons. Masterpieces all of them.! the early french recordings are the best to listen to... this C.D. will transport you back into another era. Great to listen to at dinner by candlelight.

This is the CD for you. I always become a bit depressed whenever I return home after a visit to France and for some reason, this particular CD livens me up. I own a lot of "french" music, but this is truly a wonderful mix of music.

I love this CD...some of these I have heard on my old 33 vinyls, and it's a pleasure to listen again...some I didn't have but knew of..I'm very happy

I bought this cd six years ago when I was taking a French class as an Undergrad. It was great to listen to when trying to get into the studying frame of mind. I still occassionally listen to it.

The old music is beautifully done and faithful to the original recordings. A marvelous step back into history. Claudia Newcorn - author of the award-winning fantasy, Crossover Crossover: Krisálys Chronicles of Féyree
