"I purchased this for my father, who is 76 years old. It moved him deeply to hear so many of these songs from his past. It was especially nice that there were songs in this collection that he hadn't even heard before. I am very pleased with this purchase."

Edith Piaf, a haunting and thrilling vocalist

"I became interested in the music of Edith Piaf after seeing the recent movie of her life. My husband says, "would you like some music?" What he means is, would I like to hear 75 Chansons again! The answer is almost always yes. The quality of the CDs is good enough to make you believe you are hearing her in person, and the number of songs keeps it from seeming repetitive, even though you may listen over and over."

Live mid-century recordings, studio recordings, early record

"Three discs for $10, a bargain! The three discs are arranged chronologically, with some records done live on stage with a little intro by Piaf, such as Milord and Enfin le Printemps. L'accordéoniste is also live and has excellent high fidelity. La Vie en Rose is the original Columbia recording, in French, from the 78rpm record. Many songs are from the old records, good transfers. My favorite is the third disc with the live recordings. You will love this over any other Piaf recording on Amazon because you get not only a mix, but three times as much music for the same price!"
