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

3 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars "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

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars spectacular shepp recording.......2005-08-11

Of all the Japanese Shepp recordings, this is the best. His ballad playing is outstanding on this date -- DeJa Vu being a standout. In his later years, he's become a Ben Webster meets Trane outside a blue bar on CHicago's South Side after having smoked a joint with Andrew Cyrille, Reggie Workman and Roswell Rudd. Well woth the high price tag. He's the last of the line!

5 out of 5 stars A seductive surprise.......2007-05-16

If there is one fantastic quality in Maria de Medeiros is her capacity of surprising her "admirateurs". The actress, the movie star, the writer, the film director is now the charming voice in very sophisticated versions, a little jazzy, of wellknown brazillian songs. Besides this, she is surrounded by the right musicians, really a good trio. To be honest and thinking of drinks, this is a mix of an iced caipirinha, topped by the rich portuguese red wine and, why not, by a flûte of a good champagne brut frappé.

          5 out of 5 stars Ce CD m'a donné beaucoup < >.......2006-06-29

          I am a huge fan of Sardou's music from the beginning of his career and this album is the perfect addition for his long-lived career. I find the same passion in this CD, but even more so, as many of the songs are written by Michel himself (and produced by his son, Davy). This album contains the same beautiful orchestrations of his older music, and with profound lyrics, this album it top-notch.

          5 out of 5 stars Simplement agréable!.......2005-10-09

          I picked this CD up in Montréal this summer. I had never actually heard Michel Sardou before, but I had listened to his duet with Garou, so I thought it was worth buying, and I was right. I especially enjoy Non Merci, Ce N'est Qu'un Jeu, La Riviere de Notre Enfance. Michel Sardou has a great voice, now I need to find some of this other CDs as well. Plus, he's very handsome, so gee I enjoy looking at the CD booklet cover! LOL

          3 out of 5 stars Not so exciting.......2005-09-08

          I have really liked the messages that Michel Sardou provides in his music and the variety of music genre as well. This CD seemed mostly uninteresting (although there are few good songs on it). Guess I just like the old stuff.

          4 out of 5 stars His best album in years.......2005-03-19

          This album has turned out to be a blockbuster in France, and it is easy to see way. His voice is in top form and the songs are excellent, especially the soaring "Je n'oublie pas," the catchy "Non merci," the huge huge French hit duet with Garou "La riviere de notre enfance" and my personal favorite, the very Sardou-esque "Loin." One of my favorite albums of the past year, no doubt.

          4 out of 5 stars France today.......2004-12-03

          I heard Non Merci on the car radio in France this summer. While I didn't even hear the whole thing, I knew I had to seek it out, and hoped they would mention the name of the singer. Fortunately, they did, and I bought the CD tout de suite. Non Merci remains the catchiest track, but the others get better and better with listening, especially Riviere de Mon Enfance. Only objection is that it's a tiny tad overproduced in spots. Otherwise, a good example of current french pop.

            This is fantasic CD, it works so well with a glass of wine on my patio on a fine summer evening, with friends.

            An extreemly DEEP, jazzy, almost melodic mix of excellet deep house tracks. A true gem!
