Distributor: Ryko Distribution Notes: The elegantly packaged LA VIE EN ROSE 1935-1951 gathers 16 tracks by French national treasure Edith Piaf. Marketed to those whose interest was piqued by 2007's similarly titled film biography of the troubled singer, LA VIE EN ROSE 1935-1951 is an excellent second Edith Piaf album, delving deeper into her immense catalogue rather than overly familiar titles such as "Milord" and "Je ne Regrette Rien"--although her signature song, the anthemic title track, is included here.
France's "Little Sparrow" was the stuff of legend. Edith Piaf remains one of the most influential singers of the 20th century. Her dramatic singing style and her anguished voice appealed to French audiences and by the outbreak of World War II she had become a star. After the war, Piaf's reputation spread internationally and she appeared in New York, singing at Carnegie Hall. In her private life Piaf was as tormented as the heroines of her songs. She had many tumultuous relationships, most causing her severe emotional damage that was reflected in her passionate performances.
