Joseph Canteloube’s compositions gained him eminence in French musical life, and his folk music research and arrangements added treasure to the heritage of song. His settings of Songs of the Auvergne are classics of their kind, and this rendition by the brilliant Netania Davrath is a jewel in the Vanguard crown. Remixed and remastered from the original session master tapes, Davraths soprano is perfectly adapted here to the Auvergne dialect and lends richness, beauty, and charm to this extraordinary musical compilation.

Somewhere in my crawlspace is the first 78 recording of Songs of the Auvergne by Madeline Grey. Her voice was not strong, very light, but perfect for these beautiful songs. This recording by Netania Davrath comes closest to that of Madeline Grey and I could listen to it forever. If you love these exquisite songs, I believe this is the recording for you.
