We first found there his greatest hits, many of which are now among the attractions of the French song (Paris Angry, A Love Story, ...). Among the successes include covers of international titles and the artist endorsed (The Woman In Love / Woman in Love, Congratulations you Gagné / The Winner Takes it All, Last Waltz The Last Waltz, ...). The list of successful MM is so vast that, of course, several missing; but, of course, a choice was necessary.
Besides the tubes, there are less known songs, sometimes forgotten by the general public, but which, for many, are real small musical gems (One last word of Love, Singing, Les Violons of Georgia, After You, etc. ...).
Finally, MM reward his fans for their loyalty by inserting a number of unpublished - or unreleased CD or titles ever published! Among these we find some new songs: A Life of Love (beautiful solo version) This Is Nothing (with the collaboration of Ycare) Take the time (songwriter: MM itself and is a pretty successful!), From Me To You. The years have weathered the voice of the artist (less brilliance in the treble), making it more human, more authentic, more moving. Among old unreleased, a very beautiful one will notice 'Marie Media' and a waltz off to Mimi.
To pay tribute to his foreign audience, the CD features songs in foreign languages. Listening to a pensare Not Me, medley or Spanish, or Russian song, we understand better the international influence of the artist and why so many countries continue to cheer.
I really hope that the cabinet will reach a wide audience. MM is often reduced to a thousand doves, but popular success does not reflect the multi talented performer. It should listen to the voice feat on Day One you Reviendras (Ennio Morricone), or a stunning New York, New York, or sing that touches the sublime, or Encorela perfection of A Life of Love to appreciate MM its fair value. Piaf does not appear (or Brel - its amazing interpretation of When We Only Have Love would have been welcome, or Quest) but fortunately his excellent album tribute to Piaf is still available. In short, it stands to reason that I recommend this set!
