Joseph Canteloube: Chants D'Auvergne - selection (Naxos Audio CD)

Véronique Gens (soprano)
Orchestre National de Lille
Jean-Claude Casadesus, conductor


“[Véronique Gens’] singing is smooth and delicate, with plenty of body in the tone for some of the earthier movements…and the Lille Orchestra bring out all the little details in the score…This will no doubt become the interpretation for the present decade. It deserves to be a success, and then maybe the same forces will let us hear some of Canteloube’s enormous body of other songs.”
