5.0 out of 5 stars The art of Ninon Vallin., January 23, 2004

By	John Austin "[e-mail]" (Kangaroo Ground, Australia) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This Pearl issue is one of the few CDs devoted entirely to the great French soprano Ninon Vallin. Listen to the Lalo duet on Track 1 (one of the earliest and best recordings here) and you'll hear a singer who knows perfectly how to maximize her own vocal resources, how to project every subtlety of the French language, and how to cast a spell. Most aspects of her art are well represented here and the transfers are exemplary. I live in hopes of finding a reissue of her recording of Reynaldo Hahn's "La Dernière Valse", a song I heard her sing in a recital many years ago.
