Live on Stage is the second album by the Australian Gypsy fusion band Monsieur Camembert. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2002 it won the ARIA Award for Best World Music Album. Most of the tracks are from a live concert recorded for ABC Radio National.[1] [2] An expanded version, with four additional tracks, was released in November 2011 for Live on Stages tenth anniversary.[3]

Reception

Live on Stage was praised by The Australian Jewish News Daniel Feiller, who felt that as Monsieur Camembert's second album it "focuses more closely on the band’s own talented performers" especially the group's "heartfelt interpretations of Russian Gypsy standards, 'Choubi' and 'Dark Eyes'."[4]
