For fans of Mireille Mathieu this DVD is an absolute must. [For those who have never heard of her, this would be a good place to start]. She was probably 59 when she did this concert in 2005, and on a couple of the early numbers (songs that she would have belted out easily in her prime), there's a little wobble in her voice, but it's actually kind of endearing, and the signature voice is quite intact. The orchestra reveals a polished and ardent familiarity with Mireille's music, and the audience--which includes devotees from around the world--is clearly in love with her. What a show!

I would also mention that by going online (Amazon fr: then, dvd: Mireille Mathieu), you can buy the DVD for 4,86 euros, plus ca. 9 euros for shipping which translates to ca. 19.88 dollars. This DVD ships from France, and: it is formatted in PAL (not NTSC, in other words, you need a region-free dvd player to play it) and there are no English subtitles; it is, however, in glorious widescreen and the audio is crystal clear. Shipping took 8 or 9 days.

Been a fan for many years ,very well presented, by a beautiful person ,magnificent voice you still can bring a tear to my eyes

No one can take Edith Piaf's place. But Mireille Mathieu came close enough.... I have been her fan over her entire career. This DVD shows a good resume of her work.
