Non je n'ai rien ouuuuuubliéééééé

Joel, the Aznavour titles are excellent

If you are thinking SOTA audiophile stuff, forget it, but definitely the best digital version of Aznavour to date (I had several recent CD remasters and they are much better), it's especially spectacular because you can hear a lot of details in his voice (sometimes grainy, sometimes incredibly smooth). The musicians and arrangements are OK, nothing great IMO.

Just for the anecdote, Aznavour's voice was studied once as a case example of male voice that women found "sexy", and they tried to analyse why. I don't remember all the details but basically the spectrogram analysis of his voice showed that he didn't have a "pure" voice, but on the contrary lots of imperfections but it covered a broad spectrum, which triggered some kind of human sexual response with women.

Anyway, I like the two titles I have, and I also recommend the Barbara title, for pretty much the same reason (the voice)

Happy Xmas

Eric
