 Rating:  - chanteuse extraordinaireWhile the first cd is technically poor (much noise and static), the chanteuse is riveting. Maybe you can pretend that you are listening to her on a radio of that time. The second disk is technically much better with a few exceptions, and of course the chantuese... I am writing this before I have listened to the third disk. Rating: - Little Sparrow still rendering us helpless with her voiceWell...rendering me helpless ,at least. I am listening to this 3-CD set as I type this,and I am marveling at the depth of emotion in her voice.She was a little waif of a woman,but her voice could have guided ships through the fog.Unbelievably powerful,fraught with emotion in every note.

When "75 Chansons" discs are copied to computer for personal enjoyment, album art for "100 Chansons" appears, and the discs are labeled 2 thru 4 (instead of 1 thru 3). Both collections apparently arrange songs chronologically. The "75 Chansons" set, therefore, seems to represent later works of the artist. |
