Le Vie en Rose: La Mome
Sep 25th, 2008 by mallen
The first 11 tracks on this CD are by Edith Piaf herself, and give a good overview of her biggest hits (though we get the English version of the title track) and her feverish, ultra-dramatic style. Tracks 12-20 are made up of Christopher Gunning’s richly symphonic original score (check out “La Mort de Leplée”). The last third of the album offers Piaf without Piaf, with contemporary singers Jil Aigrot and Maya Barsoni performing her songs. (Amazon.com)
