Haute couture rather than ready-made mass - Chapeau!

Almost 20 years have had to move into the country until they could decide, when Ariola to publish a highest demands nascent album of Mathieu in Germany. How often do I as a fan of the first hour, which has preserved its critical faculties, just have to suffer during the past decade in the face of currently produced German treasure of songs as often sadly shook his head, did that one such exceptionally brilliant singer, as was the Mathieu and is unspeakably banal, laid accompanied by mass-compatible melodies songs in his mouth ... That Mathieu, the applicable than unsingable Ennio Morricone brilliantly set to music, song cycles mastered, Brel sang duets with Paul Anka, Placido Domingo or Barry Manilow, always on the highest level - and Piaf, the "Queen Mother", if you will.
The latter, this album is dedicated; the latter is an untouchable institution that there was only one time that you can not imitate, without ridicule. The one does not even allowed to take in return the original character of their immortal songs, the genre of the original, classic French chanson, as a variety of artists (inspired by modernizing zeal) already well did (and do).

All these cliffs are circumnavigated playing of Mireille Mathieu. With breathtakingly beautiful voice, although age-appropriate sounds a bit deeper, but not forfeited by their class, their uniqueness, it gives the best-known titles in 1962 who died an authenticity to produce goose bumps capable. Times passionate-pathetic, then lightly, but always powerfully and fervently succeeds the "Sparrow", known popular songs like "Milord" or "Padam, padam" to give it a unique touch to enliven the text with what they have lived life and, last but not least to make the lovers of French chanson happy.

"The Mathieu: A ravishing Chansoninterpretin" called her a FAZ critic once afterwards for a live concert. Who hitherto abqualifizierte as pure pop singer, this their actual art making up the small facet of the Great Paris has goutieren not necessarily, maybe wishes abgenudeltes Schlagergut a la "Behind the scenes of Paris" in x-th edition returns to its speakers.
In Order. Compilations millionfold sold-beloved pop abound in the local market. However, I prefer in any case haute couture mass confection. And exactly this is the Mademoiselle Mathieu delivers with this album. Chapeau!
