Customer Reviews:

Excellent, diverse collection.......2004-12-05

Varcoe has an extremely musical, light bass voice which is quite appropiate to this repertory, and a SUPERB command of French.

With such good basic ingredients, and a rich selection of interesting, often lovely, songs, this is a highly recommendable disk dealing with an area of music that has not often been fortunate on recording. The pianist is very good.

Good sound, full texts and translations. Bravo!
