Amazon.com

While not a soundtrack per se, this suite of songs was inspired by Claude Lelouche's And Now...Ladies and Gentlemen (2001). In the film, French singing star Patricia Kaas portrays a nightclub chanteuse suffering from a brain tumor who falls for a similarly afflicted thief (played by Jeremy Irons.) Given the plotline, it¹s not surprising that the tunes are drawn primarily from the classic chanson tradition. But strangely, Kaas interprets most of them in the maudlin English translations once favored by the Rat Pack, Rod McKuen, and Bobby Darin. Even so, and despite her consistently over-cautious phrasing, the vocals are attractively languid and husky, inflected with a dead-pan world-weariness that Marlene Dietrich would have recognized. However, it would be pleasant to hear Kaas essay this repertoire in a more intimate, warm-toned setting. As it is, her voice is periodically overwhelmed by echo plus poorly calibrated electric bass and keyboard lines. --Christina Roden

Customer Reviews:

Disappointed.......2007-05-19

When we ordered this DVD we thought we would have another Frida Boccara. Instead, we found the music was bland. Also, the songs were all sung in English except one verse of one song.

"And now... Ladies and Gentlemen".......2007-03-14

I loved the movie, saw it several times, that's why I bought the CD and was not disappointed

Ladies And Gentlemen.......2007-01-18

Haunting, captivating,sexy an unbelievable album. The movie "Ladies and Gentlemen" staring Jeremy Irons, patrica Kaas the singer and many other stars is one DVD you must purchase.

Rather touching and beautiful in a "world weary" way!!!.......2007-01-11

I can't get enough of this album at the moment, for some reason! Anyone who cares to look through my reviews will see that this album is quite a strong departure from my usual tastes in music. So I have to say that this album has impressed me, even though it is decidedly not the usual sort of thing I like.

The album consists of chansons, torch songs and standards, mainly sung in English, not that French bothers me at all! (in some ways, I probably would have preferred it if more of the songs were sung in French) However, Patricia Kaas has won me over on this album with her very stylish and touching renditions of these songs. She sings with precision and style. She phrases the songs well, sings with directness and simplicity, and she doesn't resort to anything overwrought or hysterical, overall, her approach is that of a mature and intelligent adult. Does that make any sense?! Probably not. Most of the songs have a melancholy nature and expect a lot of music in minor keys!


This album sounds very good late at night and I like to listen to it whilst having a glass of wine on my own. Yes, I do feel the urge to shed a tear or two when I listen to Piano Bar.

AH! AT LAST A REAL SINGER.......2006-02-26

in an era of falsetto and shrill voices what a pleasure to find a real voice. She sings so richly and deeply where ever you are and what ever you're doing you pause to listen.

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful stuff, a must have for any pop/french music lover.......2006-09-08

I love this collection though I'm normally not a fan of pop music. Mylene has a great voice and the music is divine. :D My favorites are Les Mots, C'est une Belle Journée and Desenchantee.

Can't stay away from it, my new best friend !!.......2004-02-02

I only knew 2 of mylene's songs that I heard on a european ststion when I was in medical school, I thought she was great!. But by no stretch of immagination did I think she had this massive great talent as a singer and song writer!
I admit I am still overwhelmed by the double CD set, I'm lost for words to describe the impact this album has on me.

There are 30 magnifisant songs, I can't say that one is better than the other , She will take you on a journey of ballades, pop and nearly classic on occasions.

I can't get over the beautiful ballade "pardonne-moi", where she sings her emotions out to princes of different countries, without having to shout or squeele like others do, you can feel the true emotion and the glory of her singing and writing talents, My God!!!!, it's mind blowing, also"les mots" such a beautiful ballade and one of my favourites has to be "Je te rends ton amour", the clarity and beauty of her voice and the beautiful music of Lourent Boutonant makes an unmissable piece of art!
And on a sunny day or a night out and in the car, "Sans cotrefacon" and "Pourvu qu'elle soint douce" are a great example of how far her talent goes for feel good probably danceable (for those who dance) pop music.

The sound quality and the grace and glory of her voice places her on top of my list of favourite singers, she is number one! and I'm talking about english and french singers!

If you don't have any french CD's start with this , you won't be able to get it out of your head.

Un condensé de bonheur.......2003-09-11

Mylène..... C'est 20 ans de création fine, poétique, entrainante, intelligente, sensuelle. Et un monde où deux mots à peine prononcés par elle nous permettent d'entrer.

Ce BEST OF retrace cette carrière et devra vous donner envie de vous plonger dans l'unvers complet avec ces albums splendides (Innamoramento, Anamorphosée, Ainsi Soit Je, Cendres de Lune, L'autre), ainsi que ses 3 lives qui vous feront comprendre que c'est LA GRANDE !!!

Myléne: Simply Irresistible.......2002-11-14

When this cd came out, I thought: Having all of her albums, will this one be worth buying??...and having indulged in finally buying it, in spite of its expensiveness, the answer is YES!!, no regrets at all....this release is worth every dollar!

Featuring most of her greatest songs on this double cd collection makes the album really a must!... Both cd's have been constantly played in my stereo, discman and car, especially cd number two, which includes three new gorgeous never-released-before songs, all consecutively released as cd singles in France, most notably "Pardonne-Moi" (the third single), a melancholic, sensuous, lush, ballad in the trend of her latest studio album, the excellent "Innamoramento"...."Les Mots" (the first single), a duo with Seal, sung half in french & english....and "C'est une belle journée" (the second single), a happy, tuneful, infectious pop song, sort of in the style of "L'Histoire D'Une Fee, C'est...", the song Myléne created for the "Rugrats in Paris" soundtrack, which is also included. If you have the chance of watching the videoclips of the three aforementioned singles, they're fantastic (I watched them on TV5's international signal).

Besides, this wonderful collection includes new versions for "Maman a Tort", excellent remastered (but sometimes shorter) versions of "Beyond my Control", "Je t'aime Melancolie", et al....and such rarities, not included in her studio albums, like "Effets Secondaires", which ends with "great sound effect", "A Quoi Je sers", "La Veuve Noire".....

The CD Booklet has great photos of Mylene in various moods....In all, you won't be disappointed, a great experience. Buy it!!

I give it one hundred stars if it was posible.......2002-05-11

Hey, I was gratefully surprised whit this CDs, I think that they are the best CDs I own, and believe me, I have a lot.

Reasons?????? You only have to put together all de Albums of the Glorious Mylene and lock the times. Since the first "Maman a tort", the extension is diferent, the version in "Les Mots" are LONGEST. "pourvu quelles soint douces" is an exclusive Remix edit, "Sans Contrefacons" are also longest. "Inamoramento" are a edit one minut shortest than the original analso "L'historie de una fete cest" and ON AND ON, and all the sound are REMASTERED, and sounds better than the originals. I am so hapyy, I broght it. And you?????... you really should buy it too!!!!

This album is really outstanding. I like most of the songs on the CD, especially "Tant que c'est toi", "J'avais quelqu'un", "Croire" and "Qu'y a-t-il entre nous?"
Natasha has indeed a wonderful voice. I really recommend it.
Bonne écoute!

Never regret.......2005-08-10

Natasha is an amazing singer. She has a powerful and sexy voice. Every song in this disc has a special and distinctive feeling that shows how Natasha's talents have been grown and developed to maturity. Buy this CD, listen and feel it. You won't regret it.

C'est beau!.......2005-05-14

This is at least Natasha St-Pier's third album, and definitely her best effort to date. This album has a more varied style that shows off Natasha's fresh and beautiful voice in catchy arrangements. The influence of Pascal Obispo comes through, especially on guitar. My favorite tracks are Tant Que C'est Toi and Chacun Pour Soi, although they are really all pretty good and grow on you with repeating listening. Now one of Quebec's very best female singers, Natasha St-Pier and Isabelle Boulay are both in a better place than Celine Dion.

Every title on the CD is great.......2005-03-29

This CD has good sound and is well orchestrated. In the past several years, I have found that
there are many CD's that had only two or three tracks that I like. That seems to be a complaint
by many people, and it is a reason why the music download services are so popular among
consumers. I like CD's where the whole CD is music I like. That being said, I was extremely
pleased with "L'instant d'après." Francophone music is expensive in the United States, and I felt
that my money was well spent with this CD.

I was pleased with the technical qualities of Natasha St-Pier's voice, as well as all the
arrangements and instrumentation on the whole album. "L'instant d'après" was a welcome
addition to my Francophone rock collection. I look toward adding additional titles from Natasha
St-Pier.

A wonderful album from an artist who was new to me!.......2004-11-13

These are beautiful songs with powerful lyrics, a compelling voice and very creative musical arrangements. Natasha really offers something enduring and special. I get the feeling that people will be enjoying her recordings years and decades from now!

I ran across this album completely by accident and I was hooked at first listen. I know nothing about Olivia Ruiz, but I really like this album. From the semi-non-traditional instrumentation (ukelele, clarinet, turntables) to her passionate voice, this album is worth hearing.

Makes me wish I would have kept up on my high school French.

Once Again - An Impeccable Album From Natasha!.......2007-03-18

I have been listening to French Female vocal ballads since the late 60's...; Natasha is the first artist who creates music album with extraordinarily exquisite songs from beginning to the end for the entire album! It is not just only this particular CD, all her previous releases are just as great as the others... She even sang in Cantonese for one track in her "Emergence" album, and Cantonese is a very difficult language in pronunciation!

Natasha: Merci de votre musique extraordinairement merveilleuse, qui apporte tellement le bonheur à tant d'auditeurs autour du monde. Merci! Merci! Merci!!!

Simply The Best.......2007-01-01

Let me make this short and to the point. Natasha is the best French language singer in the world. This CD is phenomenal, just like all of her others. This lady never has a weak song. Un Ange is my favorite on this CD.

Her best yet.......2006-10-04

Longeur d'Ondes is Natasha St-Pier's best yet. More mature than her previous recordings, it features interesting lyrics and stronger melodies coupled with that incomparable voice. The more you listen to it, the better it gets, until you find you are listening to those tunes swimming around your head all day.

Do buy this if you like great music (and you don't need to understand French, but it helps).

wonderful music.......2006-04-16

What a great album. Mostly melancholic but very beautiful. One song is better than the other. It's very refreshing to hear this melodic music in French (it sounds so much deeper this way). Natasha's voice is incomparable, equally gentle, emotional and intense.

A bit different style from her previous work, but still a great album.......2006-03-05

I'm a huge fan, and I own all of her albums. The songs in this CD are a bit different from her previous work. I liked her 3rd album the best. However, this is still an excellent CD with some really really great songs. Not to mention her voice is beautiful and extremely rich. I highly recommend it.

Mesmerized.......2006-01-12

I simply love it. A co-worker at a store I worked at in Boston used to bring it in to play, and gave me a copy for Christmas, probably back in 1994 or so. The songs, and oh...that voice! I don't know French, and maybe that's part of the reason I can play it over and over, because I don't understand the lyrics, so I never do get tired of them! However, there are times when I wish I knew what he was singing about, but the literal English translations that I can find simply have no feeling to them, let alone make much sense. I also have a few other CDs of his, and am dying to get the latest DVD! If anyone can help with they lyrics - and the meaning the songs convey, please let me know! Until then, ignorance is still bliss...

easy to LOVE this... .......2005-10-05

Just about a week ago, a friend of mine introduced me to this CD.
Not on purpose, mind you-he just popped it in the CD player in the car. I was amazed from my first listening experience how comfortable and gently beautiful the lyrics AND instrumentation blend together. My favorits at this early stage (although I admit I'm completely addicted to this CD) are Je t'aime...Les Vidanges Du Diable....Le Noceur... & Samedi Soir. My knowledge of the french language (at best) is very elementary...but I'm learning. And Francis Cabrel makes it very easy to want to learn more.

Escaping from French Neil Diamond Syndrome.......2004-06-14

Cabrel's earlier albums carry a definite Neil Diamond-esque feel to them. This album manages to cast this aside (as much as is possible) and acheives a very mature yet fresh and energetic feel to it. Nearly completely acoustic, it has a great folksy feel. I love all but maybe one or two songs on this album (and even those "disliked" songs would make me pause on the radio dial if I heard them). Cabrel makes perfect use of the 4 minute mileu to make his points or tell his stories, which generally manage to be both specific and generally applicable stories, hence making them resonate beyond the bounds of the words themselves. Lastly, Cabrel is great for learners of French as he sings clearly and is relatively easy to understand, yet sounds as French as French can be.

Brilliant.......2004-04-28

What an amazing record. The sound Cabrel captured is so full, and so resonant. I was visiting Paris with a friend and was talking to her one morning while she was drying her hair when the video for "Je T'Aimais..." came on Channel 6. We both stopped talking and listened with our jaws hanging, then immediately ran out and bought the CD. It has been one of my favorites ever since.

I want to play this song for my Father and I at my wedding.........2004-03-05

My real father abandoned me when I was a baby. I was raised by a foster family in Quebec and this man was and always will be my DAD...he doesn't speak english very well and I now live in the US, so no one will understand the words....I need to share that.

I was wondering if there are lyrics written somewhere...I would like to translate them into english......this is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. A testament to the purity of love between and Father and daughter.

I get so emotional when I hear it....

9 CD.......2006-08-21

Lara Fabian is my one of my favourite female vocalists. This CD is as good as the rest. Even though I don't speak or understand French, the music and lyrics and her voice more than compensate. Wonderful to listen to as I drive. I wish she would make more CDs.

Fabian -v- Dion?.......2006-08-18

There is no comparison.

Both have beautiful voices. The sound and style are worlds apart.

Lara Fabian.......2006-06-30

I am enjoying most of the CD. Personally I feel there was too much rock in some of the songs. Not that there is anything wrong with rock. I have been listening to Led Zeplin and Pink Floyd for 30 plus years. I was expecting the music to be more mellow. Ms. Fabian has a wonderful voice. I enjoy listening to to most of her songs.

A Superb Talent.......2006-04-20

I had the pleasure of seeing Lara Fabian perform live (at the Olympia in Paris), and she is one of those rare performers whose voice is even more magnificent in person. She blew the audience away... and concluded the concert with her version of "Papa Can You Hear Me" from Yentl. Covering any Barbra Streisand song takes courage, and that song in particular. It was one of the most stunning moments I have ever experienced, in any theater with any performer, in my life.

By the way... Lara is Belgian, and Celine Dion is Canadian! I much prefer Lara's voice-- she is not prone to the hyper-dramatics and screeching that Celine sometimes falls into when she sings in English.

I agree with all the reviewers here who state that Lara's French songs are far better than her English ones, and also that you do not need to speak French to appreciate the beauty of this album.

For anyone who appreciates a crystal clear, pure, powerful voice, I recommend this album. Lara Fabian is the ultimate example of how music can prompt powerful emotions.

Another excellent choice would be her album called "Nue." I am confident you will be pleased and moved!

No French Required.......2006-04-09

With all the great reviews previously written for this album, Lara Fabian's '9' doesn't really need another raving review. But I thought I should write this especially for fans out there who don't speak french but love Lara Fabian's music.

Without a clue of what Miss Fabian is actually singing, I've bought this french CD album simply because I found myself totally captivated by her other song - 'Love By Grace'(from her first english album- released 2000). And, without any understanding, I've played '9' over and over again.....Why? Lara Fabian sings beautifully and the songs are work of art.

No french is required to'fall for'this album. Love is BLIND, right?

Average customer rating: Brings back memories For Those Who Love Easy Listening Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a find, what a jewel. This set definitely covers a lot of ground. Maybe too much.

If you liked easy listening FM radio and really miss it, this collection is for you. It is all of the things you remember hearing.

For Those Who Love Easy Listening.......2007-05-13

Along with Billy Vaughn, Percy Faith, Ray Conniff and Mantovani, Kostelanetz was one of biggest names in the 50s and 60s, in the
easy-listening category. He had good taste selecting the musics, and
his sound was "full, luxurious, beautiful".
I suggest, too, Bert Kaempfert, Clebanoff, Hugo Winterhalter, Les Baxter,
Paul Mauriat and Franck Pourcel. This 3-CDs set is very good!

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a find, what a jewel........2004-01-31

When I was a teenager, I loved the Beatles and their song "Yesterday". I also loved the Monkeys. However, I had a side of me that loved Johnnie Mathis' song "The Shadow of Your Smile" and then my all time favorite albums were ones by Andre Kostelanetz. When John Kennedy was assasinated, Andre's albums were there for me. I am Black, which should not be a variable in this review, but I want to encourage those of every race to partake of this Ultimate Collection.

This set definitely covers a lot of ground. Maybe too much........2003-03-08

This is a most welcome comprehensive collection of Kostelanetz recordings covering his Columbia records career that spanned decades. It contains plenty of great examples of both his classical and pop recordings. His mastery of arrangement certainly had no equal in the 50s and 60s and there's lots and lots of proof of this spread over these discs. The first two discs are completely flawless. Practically every performance is five star quality. The first several tracks of the third disc continue the excellence but about a third of the way into this disc (and into Kostelanetz's 70s recordings) the arrangements start to sound more and more dated. There's something about the great orchestral masters adopting the styles of 1970s pop music that just doesn't hold up well today. I guess no one knew at the time that the 50s and 60s material would sound so much better so many years down the line so perhaps, no one is to blame. But I would rather have had more classical works or more 60s pop and left the 70s tracks to gather dust in the vault. Three essential tracks that are missing: "Somewhere My Love", "Bluesette" and Gershwin's "Promenade". Other than that, a really excellent (and beautifully remastered) collection.

as many stars as there are in the heavens.......2007-03-04

If you are even considering buying this CD, do so - you will love it! The beauty of this music, and their voices, is beyond explanation; you must experience it. The choice of songs was wonderful for their talent. This CD is absolutely some of the most lovely music ever recorded.

Simply Sublime!.......2006-12-13

OK, this really IS pure, fresh, angelic singing that gives you that "tingle factor"! (I know, it's hard to find that, but this did it for me!)

Simply gorgeous singers, crunchy arrangements, top-notch instrumentalists, fresh sound, well-crafted engineering and production. It's hard not to gush with positive adjectives!

I like the mixture of mainly classical favorites with a few pop, folk and spiritual songs thrown in. I'm a classically trained singer/composer/musician who also loves pop and rock, so I appreciate good quality music of many genres, especially those that integrate different influeces, like this does.

When you play this CD, you will find it hard to do anything but listen in awe - it makes your skin tingle, your soul awaken, your breath deepen! It's better than a shot of...well...you can fill in the blank!

I know all these songs are "popular" classics, so maybe some music snobs won't like the "mainstream"-ness of this. But on the other hand, those who aren't "into" classical music would actually like this (I challenge ANYONE not to like this CD!)

It was fun (and a nice surprise) to hear an arrangement of the British pop artist, Robbie Williams' song, "Angels" on the CD! This was one of Robbie William's big hits that made it across to the USA (I think)...

And what an orgasmic arrangment of "Windmills of your mind" - I love the subtle accordion in this, just tugging further on the heart strings! Wow.

I've heard many different arrangements of the classical songs, "The Flower Duet", Pachelbel's "Canon in D", "Barcarolle", "Cavellera Rusticana", "Ave Verum", "Ave Maria", and Barber's "Agnus Dei", but these really are fresh sounding and stirringly performed. Enough to make even the seasoned classical musican sit up and take notice. And entrancing enough to hook the new-comer to classical music.

I've started playing this CD to my young kids - what a fantastic introduction to classical music for them. (Watch out, it will make them distinguish good quality from cheap imitations!)

Infact, I'm so impressed with this CD, I am now going to buy several copies of it to give to my musician and non-musician friends for Christmas... I'm pretty sure they will all get as much joy from this as I have.

This would also be wonderful for wedding music, or any special occasion. (As well as just lovely for relaxing to at home). Very powerful.

Just heard them on Classic FM.......2006-12-03

It's Saturday here in Chicago. I just heard these girls being interviewed on Classic FM.

They sound like great girls, each already more than a little accomplished. Interspersed in the interview were at least four complete tracks from the CD. Unbelievable sounds, harmonies and individual solo passages. Angelic is a perfect description.

I'm here today to buy it for myself.
