Title: Returning to old friends
Review: When Dawn Upshaw and Kent Nagano first collaborated on the CANTELOUBE: Chants d'Auvergne the accompanying songs by Maurice Emmanuel were largely overlooked. Now on returning to this full recording of the Canteloube songs, which are exquisitely performed with a sense of childlike innocence and earthiness, the Burgundian songs form the Beaune Area take on more importance. Fortunate for French folksong literature that there are two composers who captured their flavor and idiosyncrasies as well as Emmanuel (1862 - 1938) and Canteloube . Dawn Upshaw is the right voice and temperament for this literature and hearing her survey the entire cycle is a joy. The songs of Emmanuel are far less well known, but in the context of this loving recording they receive their due.. The tunes are charming and the orchestrations are highly imaginative. This is a CD to keep on top of your stack for it bears frequent listening.
