5.0 out of 5 stars Authentically French & beautiful, 28 May 2006

By	D. Newrick "David Newrick" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These songs have grown in polularity for many years now and have been recorded by some major figures. Many compilations never fail to include Bolero as a beautiful piece of music.

Yet this collection contains many more beautiful songs, excellently performed by the soprano Veronique Gens here. There is always a slight nasal quality to the French accent which makes it quite distinct and which is always missing from more 'operatic' singers. Gens, actually coming from the Auvergne itself, does not attempt to remove this from her voice and so makes it a truly authentic French collection of delightful songs.

The Orchestra National de Lille under Casadesus play with sweetness or with joy and vigour - depending on what is required by the composer for these peasant songs. On-screen you are treated to delightful scenes of the Auvergne (I assume, or country scenes at least) which really do enhance the beauty of the whole experience.

I have to admit I was really suprised at how good this entire package is because of its low price. Quite frankly Naxos should be doubling the price for such authenticity and quality - until they do that then this is an absolute bargain which you will want to listen to over and over again.
