"Actually these are 2 original Mouskouri's old french album compiled on 1 CD.As other reviewer wrote,this album really captures the French spirit with lots of feeling poured from these songs.Mouskouri's large part from her repertoire is her french songs & this album is one of her best studio efforts in this direction.Also ,I'd recommend on the "In Paris" album from 66,presently available only on Lps."
The old made new in tuneful interpretation

"I'd never even heard of Nana Mouskouri, but I like French music, so I purchased this CD. I found a beautiful voice and over an hour of lovely, richly interpreted songs. I'd never heard any of these tunes before, but I love almost every one. What a great sing-along album! The booklet contains all the lyrics, too. Mouskouri is the only singer I can think of who wears glasses on stage (well, besides Buddy Holly)."
Possibly Nana's best

"I have owned this album in vinyl, tape or cd form for more than 25 years. I first acquired it in the winter of '76-'77. I play it at least once a year. I have a great deal of Nana's music -- this is quite possibly the very best, especially for anyone who understands French."
Beautiful singing from a beautiful voice

"This CD contains some wonderful songs, and they are arranged beautifully. Nana Mouskouri was certainly at the top of her vocal abilities when she made this album. I can easily recommend it to anybody looking for beautiful singing of some great French songs."
French folkloric chanson

"I have treasured this CD. It's a great way to introduce the rich French repertoire of folk music to language learners. Her voice is heavenly and her rendition of these lilting ballads are a perfect match for each other."
