Пожалуста! ;)
Patricia Kaas "I Wish You Love"
Piano Bar (2001-2003):
In the same year Kaas began her acting career with
And now... Ladies and Gentlemen with Jeremy Irons, directed by Claude Lelouch, her record company published the best of album
Rien ne s'arrête (Eng:
Nothing stops), as it was a best-of, only the title track was new.
In 2000, Kaas decided to live in
Zürich, Switzerland from then on. This also had consequences for her management, which likewise moved from Paris to Zürich and renamed itself
International Talent Consulting. Cyril Prieur and Richard Walter remained by Kaas' side.
To accompany the film the concept album
Piano Bar By Patricia Kaas was released in 2002, which was explicitly not a soundtrack to the film; the real soundtrack has never been released.
Piano Bar... was Kaas' first published album that was sung mainly in English, and is a homage to the great French chanson artists of history. It includes cover versions of
Where Do I Begin (originally on the soundtrack to
Love Story) and an English version of
Jacques Brel's
Ne me quitte pas (Eng:
Don't leave me), here named
If You Go Away. The album in France reached 10th place in the charts, but it was the second most successful of Kaas' albums in Germany, reaching 12 place. In 2002 Kaas again received the Golden Europa.
The
Piano Bar Live tour began in September 2002 in France and lasted until April 2003. It included six sellout concerts in the US, including appearances in
Los Angeles,
Chicago,
San Francisco and
Detroit, as well as at the
Beacon Theater in
Broadway, New York before 6,000 fans. Despite the intensive efforts of Kaas' fans the tour has not been published as a live album...
