Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this CD expecting some classic sounding French music. Well ... it sort of fullfills that descrption. The songs and melodies are definitely French classics. However, the performances are very bland, it sounds like most was done on ... keyboards. Gone are the authentic instruments like accordions and mandolins and in are ... synth strings. The reviewer that said that this sounds like elevator music nailed it right on the head. I love the music, but I hate the way it's done. I am going to keep looking for something that has authentic content AND instrumentation.
