Edith Piaf
I was inspired to order this CD after seeing the movie La Vie en Rose about the colorful life of Edith Piaf.
My aim was to hear the real singer rather than the actress in the film.
This CD contained many examples of Ms Piaf's music. The sound quality was excellent and the music enjoyable.
Much of it was familiar, popular songs heard on the radio growing up. The singing is in French and there is no translation in the CD jacket, however this is a small defect.

Edith Piaf: Eternelle
The singing was too brassy, too strident. Not the Edith Piaf I remember on a 33l/3 record I bought in the l960s.

EXQUISITE
I had always known Edith Piaf was a famous French singer, but I had never actually heard her sing. When Marion Cotillard won the Academy Award this year for "La Vie En Rose" I placed the movie on my Wish List and received it as a gift. After watching it I was amazed at and enthralled with Miss Piaf's life and her pure and unique voice. I also purchased two of her cd's, but this one is the best of the two. The quality of the cd is excellent and her voice seems more mature and strong. I treasure this cd and every time I listen to it I think of Edith's life and all of the hardship and obstacles she faced, and the triumph in becoming the most famous and beloved singer in France.

Better than the soundtrack for the film
Beautiful collection. All her good songs are on this album. I would purchase this as opposed to the soundtrack to La Vi En Rose. There are more songs than included in the film.

Just What I Was Looking For
The music and Edith Piaff's voice is beautiful on this album. I saw "La Vie en Rose" and wanted to hear her sing. I was not disappointed.
