5.0 out of 5 stars An extra-large collection of the immortal Marlene Deitrich..., October 22, 2009

This review is from: The Very Best of Marlene Dietrich: 50 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

This is an amazing collection of Ms. Deitrich's wartime and post-wartime material, with some very emotive and talented orchestras. Disc one is all studio material, beginning with her classic WWII ballad "Lili Marlene", a 40's retake of her big hit from her 1932 film "The Blue Angel", the English version of "Falling In Love Again", and a retake of her "See What The Boys In The Backroom Will Have." The first disc continues with another 22 songs (many covers) including a touching "La Vie En Rose."

Disc two is various live recordings, but the disc does not say where they came from, or at what point in her career they came. Ms. Deitrich continued to perform from the 50's to the 70's as an amazingly successful cabaret performer, so it's difficult to tell which this is, or from what post-war period. But all 25 tracks are lovely and wonderful performances.

This set's low cost is an amazing bargain, and a wonderful overview of this talented artist's career. If you're a fan of her 30's Hollywood movies as I am, finding these emotive, and often touching performances will give you another dimension of this all-time great performer to discover.

This has all the wonderful songs from the early to middle years, but not the last ones. I bought a black-covered LP in 1960. It was a Columbia release and 100% in German. This was before she could return to Germany without a lot of abuse. This CD seems to have all of those songs plus many more. I am not a technical person, butthe quality of sound on the CD seems thin. What is wonderful is hearing Dietrich singing the old standards and being able to put the music in my iTunes.

Always had a thing for Dietrich...

Saw her live four times. She was one of a kind.

This CD is Excelent both for quality
and an overall perspective of her
style & music. A style and sophistication that is uniique.
