CD Reviews

The ultimate Edith Piaf CD
Alan L. Klein | New York, NY | 11/21/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Just purchased Eternelle Les Plus Grandes Chansons d'Edith Piaf in Paris (where it is being featured) and think it is the best compliation of her work. Excellent reproduction - even the scratchy songs from the 30's and 40's are of good quality. All of her good songs (43) on 2 discs.Am impressed to find this CD at Amazon.com, and at a lower price than we just paid in Paris!"
Why Copy-Controlled?
Fosdick Fong | Calgary, Alberta Canada | 07/13/2004
(3 out of 5 stars)

"The cover of this 2-CD set is so beautiful that I was almost tempted to buy it right away, not to mention the several never-released pieces. But why bother to implement the copy-control codes? First, such code makes it not playable on some computers and even some expensive audio CD players; secondly, many users have already reported that such code makes the recording sound weird. It is, therefore, very ironical that on one hand recording engineers have struggled to improve the sound quality of the recording while on the other hand the code lowers the sound quality. While some people may blame the historical recording for the questionable sound quality, the same weird and somewhat digital/mechanical sound effect can be heard on even the recent copy-controlled CD's such as Sarah Brightman's "Harem". Thus this could-have-been-wonderful 2CD-set does not deserve more than 3 stars simply because of the redundant and avoidable copy-control code so implemented that unduly and unavoidaby worsens the sound."
