Reviews :
« Edith Piaf, performing her greatest songs 60 years after her passing, accompanied in London by a symphonic orchestra of 60 musicians... What could be considered science fiction has become a reality thanks to renowned musicians, arrangers, and sound engineers. They took on the challenge of creating new orchestrations capable of resonating with today's ears without compromising the nostalgia of their predecessors. By technically isolating her voice, they have allowed the refrains of yesteryears to prove that they remain as immortal as their interpreter. Edith Piaf's iconic voice was meticulously extracted from the original masters by a team of sound engineers working at the legendary Abbey Road studio in London. The album, on the other hand, was recorded at the prestigious AIR Studios, also located in London. The orchestra comprises carefully selected sixty musicians, forming the distinguished Legendis Orchestra. These musicians hail from some of the most prestigious English symphonic orchestras, including the London Symphonic Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and BBC Orchestra. The tracks were brilliantly arranged by Martin Batchelar, Samuel Pegg, and Nathan Stornetta.
Emotion: the word that encapsulates this journey—both for the musicians during the recording and for the rights holders of Edith Piaf, Catherine Glavas, and Christie Laume. As they listened to the album, they experienced the feeling that Edith was right there with them. Between 1961 and 1963, they regularly spent days and evenings in the apartment at 67 Boulevard Lannes, gathered around a piano where Piaf rehearsed for hours, refining every note and gesture. They are convinced that if she were among us today, Edith would have been the first to work tirelessly on this album, alongside the conductor and sound engineers. Perfection was her trademark. On tour, in the three hours leading up to a performance, she didn't hesitate to alter her program when her instincts guided her. From the school of the streets, she had learned a lesson: a chorus becomes popular when it's whistled by the mailman during his rounds. That's the case for most of those featured in this new version. Each of them has a story tied to their journey and their loves.” Shore Fire Media
