Free Music Review: Great Value
Hit: 4 Stars
Great value for cost. I especially enjoyed listening to this CD and was surprised at the English selections. For anyone who enjoyed La Vie en Rose movie, I would recommend this CD.Free Music Review: Hymn to Love of Edith Piaf

One cannot listen to Piaf without wanting to sing along. If you don't speak French, this is the CD for you. Great driving music at the end of the workday.Free Music Review: Handy reference for lyric meanings in English
Hit: 3 Stars
This is a nice enough album. I think she sounds a lot nicer in French, but some of these songs are fun, and if you have enjoyed some of her original music and been curious what they might mean in English, this is one way to get a sense of them. Of course, it would be nicer if all the albums came with liner pages of lyrics but they don't. (Edith Piaf sings clearly enough in French that even an amateur language scholar can try to follow the songs by ear however.) I bought this album when I bought "The Voice of the Sparrow," and while I like that one a lot better, and can listen to it more, this one is handy to have. If you do like lyrics in translation, you might also like to check out the music of Joni James and Nana Mouskoura. Their voices are very different from hers, but the multi-lingual aspect is fun.Free Music Review: Better in French
Hit: 3 Stars
I think Edith Piaf was one of the world's great chanteuses. However, she loses a lot in translation. Whereas her songs in French are effective, touching and powerful, in English they are somewhat bland. Perhaps this has to do with the translations which almost always water down the French. Perhaps it is because her command of English is not great. In any case, for the REAL Piaf, buy anything she recorded in French--you will be transported.Free Music Review: Not as much
Hit: 3 Stars
Enjoyed the French version better. Lots of similiar/identical songs as La Vien Rose--but definitely enjoyed the French version a lot more.
