Editorial Review: Album Description: 2003 compilation features material recorded in English & a live version of 'Heureuse'. EMI Music France. Amazon.com: Frankly, it feels a bit weird to listen to Edith Piaf perform in English. There aren't many singers so associated with a country as Piaf is with France. And yet she did record some of her hits in English in an attempt to facilitate her career in the United States. While newcomers to the singer's oeuvre should start with her French albums, this CD is fascinating for advanced Piaf listeners. Most of the sides were cut 1950 and show Piaf in fine vocal form on tracks such as "La vie en rose" (she switched from English to French for the title) and "Autumn Leaves" ("Les feuilles mortes"), a strangely compelling hybrid that alternates between French and English. Piaf was certainly more at ease singing in French, but her charismatic sense of drama could break through in just about any language. --Elisabeth Vincentelli Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Sparrow Sings in EnglishUntil I heard this CD, I was unaware that Edith Piaf had ever recorded any songs in English. I was aware, however that she didn't learn much English until very late in life. Someday, I hope to have heard everything she ever recorded. She died when I was 21, but I have enjoyed hearing her sing from the time I was about 12, maybe earlier. One does not need to understand the words in her songs to appreciate the power and feeling she puts into all her work; the meaning is clear enough. Rating: - Power-House Singer!!!HYMN TO LOVE:ALL HER GREATEST SONGS IN ENGLISH by Edith Piaf is a wonderful cd for the English translations of some of her most famous songs. Piaf is another one of those songbirds who have distinctive voices. In either French or English, she sounds like Piaf. Her French accent makes these songs all the more alluring, and I love the English versions of "La Vie En Rose," "No Regrets" and "Autumn Leaves." Of course the versions of these songs are not to replace her original French editions, just add a little complimentary color. The cd comes with small cover/booklet including French and English liner notes with biography and song information and pictures of Piaf. The remastering is done well ...

Rating: - Hymn to Love: All her Songs -Edith PaifLoved this CD. If you are a fan of Edith Piaf , this is a must have for you. It was delivered very quickly and in immaculate condition. (New). Rating: - why she always had a spotlightHymn to Love: All Her Greatest Songs in English gives people the rare treat of hearing the great Edith Piaf perform some of her greatest songs in English. Edith's voice is hauntingly beautiful and instantly recognizable to her fans; and even for the newcomer it's pleasing to hear a fine French singer performing so well in English. The artwork is beautiful; and the sound quality is very good. "Hymne To Love" starts the CD off with Edith singing her heart and soul out in order to perform better than just about any other female chanteuse ever. Perhaps one or two female singers were also on Edith's level of expertise, but Edith's French accent makes this love ballad even more romantic. "La Vie En Rose" is a charming ballad that Edith ...
