Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Official motion picture soundtrack to the film La Vie En Rose, the dramatic real-life story of French chanteuse Edith Piaf, starring Marion Cotillard and Gerard Depardieu. This release contains 27 tracks featuring 11 of Piaf's most popular songs remastered including 'La Vie En Rose', 'Hymne A L'amour' 'Milord' and 'Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien', plus the original score by Christopher Gunning.

Amazon.com:
As befits the soundtrack of a music biopic, most of the heavy lifting here is done by the movie's subject: iconic French singer Edith Piaf. She was the Gallic Judy Garland, a natural performer who overcame one personal tragedy after another and was never more alive than on stage, forging an uncommon bond with both material and audience. Since actress Marion Cotillard lip-synchs in the film, the first 11 tracks on the CD are by Piaf herself, and give a good overview of her biggest hits (though we get the English version of the title track) and her feverish, ultra-dramatic style. But Piaf wasn't only a tragedienne of song: Her lighter side is represented by 'Rien de Rien' and 'Mon Manège à Moi,' which she infuses with wonderful flair. Tracks 12-20 are made up of Christopher Gunning's richly symphonic original score (check out 'La Mort de Leplée'). The last third of the album offers Piaf without Piaf, with contemporary singers Jil Aigrot and Maya Barsoni performing her songs (apparently because the originals' poor sound quality meant they would have stuck out in the movie). Watch out, however, for Mistinguett's hilarious 'Il m'a vu nue,' a slice of French music-hall history preserved in amber. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Must have CD
This CD is a must have. If you saw the movie and loved it...you will love the music on this CD.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Love it
Since I enjoyed the movie--I wanted the music that the movie utilized--excellent--now amy trying to learn French


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - La Vie en Rose
Too bad the title song is in English; other than that, what can I say: love Piaf, loved the movie also!


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Nice to see Gunning getting some love
The legendary singer Edith Piaf, who died in 1963, remains a national icon of French musical culture to this day, whose razor-blade voice was unmistakable, and whose massive stage presence belied her diminutive stature. Director Olivier Dahan's biography of Piaf, La Môme (released internationally as "La Vie en Rose", after one of her most famous songs), stars Marion Cotillard in an extraordinary performance as the Little Sparrow, and features supporting turns from such respected Gallic actors as ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - movie sound track
Very good reproduction of the original masters. I enjoy it over and over because I liked the movie and the music of that era. The actress deserved the Oscar I think. Todays musiic does seem like music to an old timer.
