Lucie Dolène sings Canteloube "Chants de France" - part II of III

Описание: Part II of III: Songs from Picardy, Brittany, Corsica and Gascony. Here is the composer, Joseph Canteloube, accompanying the young fifteen year-old whom he is quoted as saying was the ideal interpreter of his songs! From a recording circa 1949. Lucie Daullene aka Lucie Dolène (think the voice of Disney's Snow White).

Some friends of Canteloube had discovered her in an Auvergne village. He rehearsed with her in the Paris apartment of J.B. Hanson, the managing director of Oiseau Lyre. It was for Oiseau Lyre that they recorded these songs.

These four are included here (along with their region):
1. "La belle est au jardin d'amour" (Picardy)
2. "Ma douce amie" (Brittany)
3. "Ô cincciarella!" (Corsica)
4. "Sur la montagne" (Gascony)

In a letter dated 13 January 1954, Canteloube uses the spelling Lucie Dolène, which shows that the change of name had already taken place. In the same letter he says that a record of the Chants d'Auvergne with orchestra was in prospect with Lucie Dolène and Camille Mauranne, "magnifique chanteur". If only this had materialised!
