Title: DFD is not at his best singing in French
Product review: I bought this album because I was looking for some of the more rare Ravel songs on it, such as the Don Quichotte songs, and Un Grand Sommeil Noir. That's the only reason YOU should buy it. DFD's lieder singing (in German) is well-known, for good reason, and highly commended by everyone. But in French he's not at his best. I also found it puzzling that he sings the Chansons Populaires all in French, since the languages they are written in are Italian, Spanish, French, and Hebrew. DFD does them all in French translations. For a better version try Cecilia Bartoli (for the Chansons Populaires), or Natalie Stutzman (Histoire Naturelle).
