Filmed at prestigious Carnegie Hall, this 1995 concert captures the magic of French crooner Charles Aznavour, who delivers 27 songs – including many numbers that he composed such as "La Mamma," "She" and "La Bohème." Still a charismatic entertainer in his 70s, Aznavour serenades his audience with French and English language melodies. Additional selections include "Mon Emouvant Amour," "Isabelle," "Ave Maria" and "Still I Cling to You."

A keystone in the modern chanson genre, French cabaret singer and songwriter Charles Aznavour entertained the world for close to 75 years. In the early '50s, he often opened for Edith Piaf, and composed several songs for her, thus beginning a solid reputation as both a gifted writer and a unique song stylist. Aznavour had a special talent for writing and singing from unusual points of view, creating personal and compassionate character studies that expanded the emotional range of the typical pop ballad. He also acted in dozens of films, most famously Truffaut's Shoot the Piano Player. Aznavour continued to perform and record music until just before his death in 2018. His status as the quintessential French popular culture icon was something of an irony for a man who identified himself most closely with his Armenian heritage. Born Shahnour Varenagh Aznavourian, his French roots derived from the fact that his family fled the threat of massacre by the Turks – his father was a singer and sometime restauranteur, while his mother was an actress and part-time seamstress.
