Sheherazade And Other Songs
Victoria De Los Angeles (Soprano) / Orchestra De La Societe Des Concerts Du Conservatoire / Georges Pretre
[ EMI Great Recordings of the Century / CD ]
'A very beautiful and very enjoyable recital of French orchestral songs, sensitively accompanied. The coupling has this justly adored singer, in excellent form, in further songs by Ravel and Debussy with Soriano as the sympathetic piano accompanist.' - The Gramophone.
"This is a wonderful disc, featuring one of the most cherishable singers of the post-war era. Perhaps, as John Steane suggests, she was not quite in her vocal prime by the time these recordings were made but the singing is still very fine and tremendously characterful. I enjoyed this disc greatly and I hope many other collectors will do likewise. The sound quality is good and the listener's enjoyment is further enhanced by the provision of all the texts and translations."
