5.0 out of 5 stars gerard souzay is amazing, March 27, 2004

This review is from: Schubert, Fauré, Debussy, Ravel: Chansons, Lieder & Opera (Audio CD)

This album is amazing. Gerard Souzay has one of the most soothing tones - when he sings it isn't harsh at all. my favorite is "apres un reve" - an absolutely gorgeous song. There are english translations for the french and the lyrics are beautiful. This is a classic album for anyone - esp. someone studying opera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Satisfied!!, May 7, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Schubert, Fauré, Debussy, Ravel: Chansons, Lieder & Opera (Audio CD)

As a first-time buyer, can't say enough how GREAT my shopping experience was!

Finding the particular CD was simple. I was given a complete description of the condition, and offered several places from which to purchase.

Then, was given choices to ship it and offered follow up as to when it had shipped - which was within days of my order! It arrived quickly, and in the condition promised.

I placed another order, for a book, this time. Should be here within the next few days, and I'm looking forward to receiving it, and to placing additional orders with Amazon!!
