Details: Product Description Two CD edition of this 2008 collection from the French singer, songwriter, actor and performer. With 60 years in the business and more than 800 hits, Aznavour is one of France's most beloved celebrities. This double disc edition contains 40 exceptional tracks from the quintessential French pop icon. NDE. Amazon.ca Admired by Dylan, considered a peer by Sinatra and Liza Minelli. This is who Charles Aznavour is! One of our greatest classics: an exceptional author and composer coupled with a performer in the strongest sense of the term. He plays the texts as a great comedian: rejected lover in "Because", solitary homosexual in "Commeils dit", bitter and drunk husband in "Tu t'laisses aller". As fond of jazz as he is of classical arrangements, tempted by lyricism ("La Mamma") as well as lightness ("Les Plaisirs demodés"): Aznavour is a complete artist. For him, no requirement without pleasure, no pleasure without requirement. Over these 40 Chansons d'or, under the lights of the music hall, it's life, neither more nor less, that grabs us by the throat. --Hubert Deshouse
