From the beginning of her career in 1935 to her death in 1963 and
right up to the present, Edith Piaf has been recognized as unique
and iconic. She is France's most celebrated and mythified singing
star across the world. Recital 1961 explores her most important
album: the live recording of her comeback concert at the Paris
Olympia on 29 December 1960, which unveiled her keynote song, 'Non
je ne regrette rien' (No Regrets). It examines the content, context
and significance of the concert in relation to Piaf's career, her
life and her celebrity. What was so special about the performance
and why did the ecstatic audiences, that night and at the
subsequent performances in 1961, find it so powerful and moving?
The book dissects the live show, the album and the songs that
feature on it, and at a deeper level their place in the invention
of the public Piaf we know today - asking why, more than a century
after her birth and 60 years after her death, we still remember
her, listen to her and commemorate her around the world.
