This review is from: Sylvia McNair: Reveries - Melodies Francaises (Audio CD)

This is a marvelous CD by a highly accomplished singer.If you like rather dissonant French singing ,you'll love it.I'm particularly fond of the Poulenc pieces at the end.That said I hasten to add this music is not going to be to many peoples taste.I think , especially in the wrong mood ,you might find it rather irritating.Yet it has an odd compelling beauty to it.
