Performer: Edith Piaf
Artist: Les Compagnons De La Chanson; Les Choeurs De Rene Saint-Paul; Charles Dumont; Theo Sarapo Distributor: EMI Music Distribution Notes: Includes an 83 page booklet with lyrics and liner notes by Jean-Pierre Pasqualini and Bruno Jacquot in French. Recorded in France between 1946-1963. Includes liner notes by Jean-Pierre Pasqualini and Bruno Jacquot. Capitol Records compiled a definitive collection of Edith Piaf's work 30 years after her death; the compilation includes both the well-known ("La Vie en Rose," "Milord," "Padam...Padam," "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien," etc.) and the hard to find (including "Johnny Tu N'Es Pas un Ange," "Un Dimanche � Londres," "A Quoi �a Sert l'Amour?," and "A L'Enseigne de la Fille Sans Coeur," among others). At only two discs (and 44 songs), it's impossible to portray the complete picture of the Sparrow, but this is a very nice, manageable set that does a pretty good job. ~ Marisa Brown
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.
