Review By Robert Benson,ClassicalCDReview.com,March 2005

This fine new Naxos issue with V�ronique Gens and Jean-Claude Casadesus conducting is welcome. Gens' voice is rather light�but this perhaps is the kind of sound Canteloube preferred for this music. On this site we recently reviewed a private reissue of a group of "Songs of France" (including one of Canteloube's) sung by soprano Lucie Daullene with Joseph Canteloube at the piano. A reader wrote saying he knew the history of this rare recording and mentioned Canteloube had told him he thought Daullene's light, innocent voice was perfect for his songs . . . I imagine Canteloube would have been pleased with V�ronique Gens' sound and interpretation. Naxos' multi-channel recording is just fine, with the performers in front, ambient sound from other speakers. Complete original texts

Review By Stephanie von Buchau,Inside Bay Area,March 2005

I praised Kiri Te Kanawa's "Songs of the Auvergne," recently; it's an historical recording, beautifully and sensually performed. This new CD is even better. Gens is from the Auvergne, which gives her textual reading authenticity and Casadesus is a sensitive accompanist.

Best of all, the soprano's light, tender tone keeps the piece floating with that ethereal innocence that Canteloube created so effortlessly. The last of these folksong settings was written in 1955 � by that era nobody was making such beautiful, melodic music.
