AMG Review of Master Serie
John Bush
All Music GuideA solid collection of Yves Montand recordings from the '60s (barring two from 1981), Master Serie stretches from accordion-heavy early-'60s standards like "Le Jazz et la Java" to the sprightly continental production behind his 1968 version of "A Bicyclette." The music is first-rate, though listeners looking for more information on what exactly made Montand the most entertaining, attractive singer of several eras may be disappointed by haphazard sequencing and the brief explanatory paragraph (in French, natch).
