Edith Piaf’s legendary concerts at Berns Salonger in Sweden are well-known. Even now—more than half a century later—it is said, "I was there!" Edith Piaf had a large following in Sweden. The premiere on May 5, 1958, lasted nearly a month, with two performances each evening. Before that, a quarter of a million people had made a pilgrimage to Olympia in Paris to see her in March and April. Among reviews after the premiere, one can read: "She is infinitely touching and captivating. She deserves to become Stockholmers’ darling as well." (Svenska Dagbladet) "Edith Piaf – the miracle… an extraordinary sensation. She is an intense piece of French tradition that makes many weekend trips unnecessary." (StockholmsTidningen) "Exceptional accompaniment by the Berns orchestra with an invisible choir under the direction of Robert Chauvigny." (Aftonbladet)
