5.0 out of 5 stars A Reissue with Quality, May 25, 2005

By	J Keistler "[e-mail]" (Lake Jackson, Texas USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is almost identical in content to another CD I purchased years ago, but the sound quality is much, much better. I am unsure whether the producers simply got their hands on better masters, or whether a different filtering technique is in use. For pre-WW II work the sound quality is very pleasant. This CD is an excellent introduction to the music that captivated the world between wars; my non-French-speaking friends have found themselves enjoying it. It may also serve as a gateway to the purchase of individual artists' volumes. Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars French "Pop" at its best., November 23, 2005

By	Anthony Green (Wilmette, Illinois) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

Jean Sablon's "Le Fiacre" was why I bought this CD but there is so much more pleasant music on it, and well transferred to CD too. A bonus, thanks to Google, is that it is easy to find all the words, and a rough translation, of each I've tried so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful old songs!, August 9, 2007

By	Kristina (Washington D.C.) - See all my reviews

This is the old school 20's 30's and 40's French music, all the classics from Mistinguette to Charles Trenet. The sound quality is excellent, considering these were all clearly taken from records. I also recommend a cd by the same company from the same time period with basically the same singers called "Fleur de Paris".
