Piaf, Edith
Live In Paris 1958-1962
Edith Piaf is the most fascinating French singer. Her songs have circled the globe and today they belong to our
worldheritage. This set contains the most beautiful versions of her greatest hits, recorded live in Paris between 1958
and 1962. The set contains historic period-documents (audio conversations with Jean Cocteau, Joseph Kessel or Pierre
Brasseur, or in duo with Jacques PrEvert, etc.). A booklet written by Martin PEnet, a great Piaf specialist and French
song-historian, accompanies the contents. Patrick FREMEAUX The Live in Paris collection by Michel BrilliE allows
listeners to hear previously-unreleased recordings (made at concerts and private- or radio-sessions) by the great 20th
stars in jazz, rock & roll and song. These "live" takes, and the artists' rapport with their audiences, gives these
performances an additional soul and sensibility in counterpoint to the rigorous demands of studio recordings. Particular
care was taken when restoring the sound of these tapes in order to meet CD standards while preserving the original
colours of the period. Patrick FREMEAUX & Gilles PETARD
