“In the early fifties, Charles Aznavour, already recognised as a singer, became regarded by the greatest stars who solicited the lyrics of his hits. Featuring his duo with Pierre Roche, his friendship with Edith Piaf and his songs borrowed by Eddie Constantine, Lucienne Delyle, Georges Ulmer, Gilbert Becaud and many others, Andre Bernard, assisted by Gerard Davoust, take us back to the origins of the Aznavour legend in these two CDs accompanied by a remarkably illustrated booklet of liner notes.” Claude Colombini Fremeaux
