Free Music Notes for La Vie en Rose [Original Soundtrack]

Hit: 5 Stars

Hit: 5 Stars
This was bought as a present for someone. She rates this very highly.Free Music Review: Sadly Cheering
Hit: 4 Stars
Sad music, one supposes, occasionally makes one feel sad, but in so many cases the nostalgia cheers one up to make up for it. That is so in the case of Piaf, who herself may have been sad, but is known for cheering up the French people and now much of the world. Hers is a desolatingly depressing life, lord knows, but the music as sung by Piaf is heart-warming and encouraging. This is the case with most music, including the blues. We listen to those sad, broken lives, like Billy Holiday's, feel bad for a moment, and then revert back to our self-satisfaction and inner-glee, rather like watching your pal get it in the neck while whistling Dixie in the foxhole. You feel rotten until it dawns on you that you are still alive.Free Music Review: Great! Could have been superb!
Hit: 4 Stars
I have been a fan of Piaf since I was a child in France. I have multiple LPs and CDs. I saw and loved the movie "La Vie En Rose" and had to have the soundtrack. The Piaf songs are wonderful, so clear and crisp you can hear the nuances of her voice. The "original music" was okay. But, no one should try to "interpret" Piaf's songs on the same CD with her, as those singers of the "additional songs" did. It was truly a mistake.
This CD could have been filled with so many of her wonderful songs; les 3 cloches, les amants de Paris, mon legionnaire, le vieux piano, sous le ciel de Paris, etc, etc. To say the least, I am disappointed. There was not even a rendition of the La Vie en Rose in French!
Free Music Review: This CD is not a true sound track of the film.
Hit: 4 Stars
As wonderful as this CD is, especially the extraordinary remastering of old Piaf recordings, I was most disappointed that the captivating a capella performance of the Marseillaise (sung by Jil Aigrot?)by the child Edith on the street with her father, was not included. That was the first time in the film that the audience heard that wonderful, clear, melodious and powerful voice, and it was most believably the young Piaf. The film created such excellent voice and music continuity, that it deserves a traditional chronological sound track with proper notes and credits for each track. If the imported version is done in that way, it would be well worth pursuing.
