Compilation album by Mireille Mathieu. They don't really make 'em like this anymore... Beautiful, gorgeous and absolutely wonderful French chanson entertainer. She's not Piaf, well of course not, and I must say that I prefer Mireille. I'd like to get hold of some of her original releases one day, as I only happen to have two collection albums and this is the best. Indeed I cannot be certain but I think it must lack some highlights from her long and golden career. Long ago she has won fans all over the world, and in Germany her success has been so massive that she even released and sang German schlager - in German! - A musical style I don't really appreciate... at all. Luckily, that's just diversity isn't it?! I think she's best singing French chansons. Grand Collection contains 16 really fine tracks of this genre. I just generally find it a bit hard to rate compilation albums too high but this is truly recommended.
