4.0 out of 5 stars Another beautiful recital from Dame Janet Baker's autumnal phase, 9 Feb 2009

By	Ralph Moore (Bishop's Stortford, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

What a relief to turn to this disc after the disappointing Hyperion effort with Vol. 4 of Faur�'s songs and m�lodies. In my review of that sad disc, I suggest looking to artists such as Janet Baker for the correct voice and style - and here is the proof. It is true that there are some signs of wear in the middle of the voice - a little permanent huskiness, perhaps - but the top rings out as round and full as ever with that peculiarly plaintive and expressive timbre so typical of her - listen to her go for the top A-flat in "Toujours" (track 8). Her French is better than ever and while she brings the utmost delicacy to the more fragile songs, this is not the whispy, breathy, precious style of singing French art songs so easily satirised but rather a heartfelt and committed interpretation of material strong enough to take it.

If you do speak French, I exhort you to ignore Dr Coulardeau's review on Amazon.com; it is nonsense. Similarly, it is quite untrue that Baker's voice "has gotten fat and has a distinct wobble", as another reviewer suggests; quite the reverse, in fact: it has dried out a bit. I have been listening to Baker for years, live and on disc, and I am certain that, even allowing for the slight deterioration I mention above, this recital forms a lovely postlude to a distinguished recording career by a much-loved artist.
