Spanish, French and Romanian Nightingales Sing of Love

Listen to four different interpretations of "Rossignol de mes amours" from Le Chanteur de Mexico performed by international tenors Luis Mariano (Spanish), Roberto Alagna (French), Ismael Jordi (Spanish) and Corneliu Fanateanu (Romanian):


"Le Chanteur de Mexico is a French film directed by Richard Pottier starring Luis Mariano and Bourvil, released in 1957. It was a screen version of Francis Lopez' operetta that premiered at the Théâtre du Châtelet on December 15, 1951. 'Francis Lopez composed for Le Chanteur de Mexico one of his best scores in which the arias integrate well into the atmosphere of the action; the airs were rapidly on everybody's lips: 'Mexico,' 'Rossignol de mes amours,' 'Acapulco,' 'Il est un coin de France,' 'Maïtechu,' 'Quant on voit Paris d'en haut,' 'Quant on est deux amis.' The operetta was revived in 2006 at the Théâtre du Châtelet with a cast that included Ismaël Jordi, Rossy de Palma, Jean Benguigui and Clotilde Courau."
