PIAF: Queen of Heart, Gay Marshall's vivacious and original take on Piaf, is far from the traditional perception of her as a tragic icon. Instead, Marshall presents a versatile powerhouse of heartwarming and heartbreaking emotion, full of personality and humor. "Piaf was so much more than the way she's been portrayed as 'the poor thing,' Marshall told NPR's Scott Simon recently, "she's much more magic than tragic." Her choice of songs is an unusual mix of the known (L'Accordeoniste and Padam Padam) and the rare (Avec Ce Soleil and The Lady From Pigalle), accompanied by a superb five piece ensemble. The original arrangements by Marshall and Paul Bevan are a wonderfully modern take on a classical theme.
