Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars frehel at her best.......2007-04-24

a great presentation of frehel through the 30's, in full command of her art, world weary and yearning at the same time......what a voice ....and such charming material, played admirably by some really ebullient orchestras supporting the singer.........this is a warm and heartbreaking recording of the spirit of a people unaware of the coming war ........the sound engineers have done a fine job in the quality of these transfers ...

5 out of 5 stars Fréhel - the most authentic french realist singer ever.......2007-01-09

This is a classic. Most of all the recordings (there wasn't many at the time, especially for her who had a chaotic and tragic life)of her lifetime are on this record. What can I say it's a jewel, a great piece of archive for anyone interested in that era, realist singers, and wholehearted artists. Don't hesitate, this is a magnificient testimony.

5 out of 5 stars A WONDERFUL REALISTIC SINGER.......2002-10-23

MAURICE CHEVALIER once said about FREHEL:her voice seems to come from her belly.She was introduced in showbussiness by CAROLINE OTERO who send her to an editor of music.At age 18,she started to record a few songs before disappearing for many years because of drug and booze dependencies.When she returned in FRANCE,a few years after the first world war,she established herself as a realistic singer with a good range.This 2 cds collection is really the best of her repertoire.What makes FREHEL unique is that she was a singer who sang stuff that definies her own life.From COMME UN MOINEAU(one instantly thinks of PIAF) to SOUS LES PONTS,from TEL QU'IL EST to LA JAVA BLEUE we clearly can recognizes that unimitable voice who can switch from gaiety to sadness.Unfortunately,as years went by,the personnel problems continued and she ended up broke and appearing older and fatter.Still,FREHEL has earned her place in the panthéon of FRENCH singers of her time.She deserves to be remembered well.
