What is it, what should be a "Best of" "The Best"? Of course it wants to sell primarily to satisfy even people as a side effect, the flat spring no Fanlobby, but one or the other hit the cultural sector on their lips and now have in their collection - more well-known songs like mitkonsumiert.
And what it is for the fan? Of course, an absolute possible cross-section of the complete works of its stars. In the case of Mireille Mathieu, the pop, folk songs, pop songs, songs, sequences from song cycles were; banal song and artistically highest demands could end pieces.
Surely you understand what I want here to express: a veteran, heaped rightly international awards such as the Star Mathieu with her immense repertoire in terms of "the best" to do justice, meant to square the circle. Always commerce and claim or their respective supporters are fundamentally irreconcilable stand side by side, as the bandwidth, the repertoire is too large and too complex to satisfy much of the constituency as well as the supporters that reduce an artist as a rule to his hits.
As the owner of the entire oeuvres of Mathieu I should like to point that it at least creates this sampler, two bulging tipped recordings, most of the big German hits in addition to a small - to present choices less catchy songs that so far the - admittedly very nature subjective Mathieu-Remote to show more than the usual purely commercially oriented German Verkaufssstrategie is capable, at least. And that, in 40 titles that unites this compilation, wrong in the described orientation SO, besides not now be, even if "My world is music," the song of this small great, unfortunately, shines by its absence here. But Judge for yourself, even if one or the other title "to worn out" or should be "too insignificant" (quote from reviewers). The fascinating art of Mathieu, her incomparable voice and the perfection of her talk always know - either way.
