| Price: Sek. 160 | Canteloube's irresistible Songs of the Auvergne never fail to give at least some satisfaction, even in the most sanitized, glossiest versions. Natalia Davrath's idiomatic recording of the complete series is the modern version of choice, but the classic, indispensable recording against which all others must be measured remains the first, from 1930, containing a selection of 11 songs sung by Madeleine Grey. They include some of the series' most popular, like "Il Bailero" and "Brezairola", and they're all done with rhythmic drive, impeccable diction of the dialect text, and with a typically French soprano voice of the period--clear, forward, with a touch of nasality and a hint of acidity, all fitting to these earthy songs. |
