Les Grands Moments is a two-disc retrospective of Michel Sardou's illustrious career. The songs, which are sequenced somewhat chronologically, range from 1967's "Comme d'Habitude" (known in America as "My Way") and "Les Ricans" to 1994's "Putain de Temps." Disc one consists of hits from the 1960s and 1970s, and disc two features hits from the late '70s, '80s, and '90s. Michel Sardou is one of France's most famous and consistently popular artists, and the stirring songs on this collection are nothing short of first rate and rank as truly timeless, world-class pop music. Songs such as the lovely "Petit," the singalong "La Maladie d'Amour," the dramatic "Je Veux l'Epouser Pour un Soir," the joyous "La Java de Broadway," the controversial "Le France," and the epic "Les Lacs du Connemara" leave an indelible impression on the listener. This collection proves a definite pleasure for any fan of French music or heartfelt pop music period. The beautifully packaged album includes the song lyrics, but very few liner notes and, save for the cover, no photographs. ~ Jose F. Promis, Rovi
