Récital 1962, also known as Olympia 1962 and A l'Olympia 1962, is an album from Édith Piaf recorded live on September 27, 1962, at L'Olympia in Paris. It was released on the Columbia label (FSX 143).[1][2] Jean Leccia conducted the orchestra.
Piaf was in a weakened physical state at the time of the performance, and a doctor watched from the wings.[3] She died the following year at age 47.
The album includes a duet on "A Quoi Ca Sert L'Amour" ("What Good Is Love?") with Théo Sarapo, a 26-year-old singer who she married two weeks later.[4]
