"Melodies by Faure, Debussy and Poulenc in outstandingly beautiful and moving performances . . . have given me more pleasure than any French song recital for a long time. . . . The light and shade of the texts is realised with the smallest inflexions, with just a touch more breathiness, with tiny delays, or with a fraction more weight on a crucial consonant. Almost best of all for me, she is able to make a diminuendo on a rising phrase - an art largely lost these days where, increasingly, high equals loud . . . . Altogether her singing is dignified without pomposity, aristocratic without affectation, and Vignoles throughout offers her firm and colourful support. If this disc does not sell and sell, the world is an even more imperfect place than I thought." -- Roger Nichols, Gramophone
