Free Music Notes for Eternelle: The Best Of
Free Music Review: An Introduction (or good review) to Piaf
Hit: 5 Stars
This collection of Music by France's premier chanteusse is a wonderful representation of her life, musically speaking. Many classic songs are included and some other ones that I have never heard (but with a little research discovered that they were other greatest hits in Europe). HIghly recommend if you just want a good sampling of Edith Piaf's songs. I bought it for my husband who loves music of this era and yet, had never heard an Edith Paif song. He loves it and is starting to drive me crazy by playing nothing else.
Keep in mind, that all songs are in French and there are no lyrics included. So a little knowledge of French or a lot of appreciation of the language might be required.

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.Free Music Review: Atmosphere

A good friend told me about Edith Piaf a few weeks ago and said she was sort of the Frank Sinatra of France. I bought this CD and have it playing in the lobby of my law office (and my car). It creates a great and relaxing atmosphere and everyone likes it. Now that I'm finally tuned in to this great and beautifully stylizing singer, I'm starting to notice her everywhere -- most recently, in "Saving Private Ryan," she was being played over the loudspeakers in a French town. The soldiers paused and the fellow who spoke French explained to the others the song of sad lament. She was and is perfect.Free Music Review: Sad life but truly wonderful voice
Hit: 5 Stars
Great renditions -- very soulful, rich voice -- heart-warming and moving -- very clear recordings. Makes me want to get the lyrics and sing along. Makes you feel like you're in Paris -- for less than $10. Edith Piaf was a bit before our time (we're leading edge boomers), but as long-time Francophiles we went to Amazon the day after watching "La Vie en Rose" to buy the sound-track. After reading the reviews, we decided to get "Eternelle" instead. We are very pleased with it! The Repeat button on the CD player gets a lot of use on this album.Free Music Review: 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.
