The Greatest Indonesian Singer of all Time.......2005-03-13

When I first heard "La Neige au Sahara",I felt like being in the desert with an oasis or along the shoreline. Her voice evokes a wonderful images, it's like being in a forest,near the waterfall. Anggun is definetely the greatest Indonesian singer of all time. She's the only Indonesian artist that I love (i'm an indonesian and living in Java,btw). I dont like anymore Indonesian artists but Anggun. You go,Anggun!!!.

beautiful voice.......2002-07-30

This album transports you to a world of purfumed winds, exotic sands, and other such delights. The french lyrics are beautifully poetic, and the melodies are nostalgic and dreamy.

The instrumentation combines traditional sounds with more organic sound effects such as in "la neige au sahara" and fuse them seamlessly with western instrumentation. Anggun's voice is deep, rich and melodic.

I really enjoy putting this CD in my stereo and turning it up loud, on surround-sound, to get the full effect of the lush instrumentation.

I would recommend this CD to all music lovers. Anggun manages to create a unique and multicultural album with catchy melodies and introspective lyrics.

A nice album , but somethng is missing.......2001-06-25

In this album , you will imagine that you are listening a new age one sometimes , but that is not true . The music at the back is just wonderful and the lyrics are nice as well , but sometimes , you cannot listen to her in thne middle of the song , she sings too unloud that sometimes it gets confused with the music at the back . I will say this is not the best album for her , but not too disapointed for not buying another one of her .

great pianist!!!!.......2007-02-16

samson was one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century his debussy was sublime and his color palete to impresionism is unsurpassed. could someone tell me if these recordings of his debussy are the stereo ones

Yesterday Francois would be celebrating his eighty-two anniversary .......2006-05-19

Samson Francois figure has evidenced slow but increasing enhancement through the years. His notable pianism, aristocratic approach and refined phrasing are some of his virtues.

If you still do not know about this legendary artist, no itý s the time for you to convince by yourself about the supreme level occupied by him.

When he left us in 1970 at his 46, he had so much to give. The musical world remained legitimately orphan and much more vile since his premature death.

But, fortunately his legacy will live among us, every time you listen any record you acquire of this peerless musician.

His Ravel is loaded not only of notable, sensual and asserive expressiveness. If you know about some other performance able to equal his Gaspard de la nuit, please, be my guest.

His Debussy is sober, eloquent with Impresionist flair and sublime musicality.

A true artistic and a fundamental treasure in your collection.

Faure is the great 19th-century song writer, a composer with a positive gift for evoking mood or setting an atmosphere with the bare minimum of means, and "La bonne chanson is his song-cycle masterpiece. Anna Russel, the famous comedienne, says that the French art song features "magnificent poetry set to rather wispy music." Well, this certainly doesn't apply to Faure, whose style, though often gentle and seductive, is as substantial as it gets. American soprano Barbara Hendricks is one of the most popular singers in France. She sings the language like a native, and her quicksilver voice, with its characteristic, tight vibrato lends the music an appropriate aura of barely suppressed passion. --David Hurwitz

Customer Reviews:

She's good, very good.......2006-01-16

Some critics have said that her vocal capabilities are limited. To be quite honest, I don't know if that's true or not, but whatever gifts God has given her, she exploits them to the full. This is a very good recital of Faure's songs, one of the best I've heard in fact (and I've heard quite a few.)

Dalberto is also very good.

Yes, highly recommended.

indispensable.......2005-09-28

This is a lovely recital -- Hendricks at the height of her powers, singing music she was born to sing, idiomatically and with a gorgeous shimmer to the voice and insinuating inflections that convey Faure's quite particular combination of chaste reserve and sensuality. The famous cycle "La bonne Chanson" may not have all the textual acuity of its recorded rivals, but Hendricks' version of "Les roses d'Ispahan" is worth the price of the disk many times over.

Album Description

Swiss tenor Hugues Cuenod had one of the most extraordinary careers in music, spanning more than 60 years. He made his debut at the Met as the Emperor in 'Turandot' at age 85, and his last public appearance was at a tribute in 2002 to honor his 100th birthday. A student of the legendary Nadia Boulanger in Paris in the 1920s, he participated in the first-ever recordings of the Monteverdi madrigals and later became one of the most esteemed interpreters of the French art song. These classic recordings are truly irreplaceable. Notes are in English and French.

Customer Reviews:

Master of la mélodie.......2006-11-25

This is an outstanding double-CD of some thirty songs from the length of Fauré's life and eight from the Duparc collection. I find Cuénod a perfect interpreter for this repertoire. His sound is so clear and focused and his diction so precise that any listener with some knowledge of French will find it relatively easy to understand the text. He also has a remarkable intensity and a flexibility in his style that give the music freedom and vitality. I've usually preferred this repertoire in Gérard Souzay's or Bernard Kruysen's baritone range, but this set could make me change my mind.

Cuénod recorded these songs in his late sixties, which is just phenomenal. He strains for his highest notes and his sound there is tighter, but his other qualities more than make up for those places. What a long and fruitful career this man has had, and in such a variety of styles and periods! I can also recommend his other recordings on Nimbus, especially his definitive interpretation of Satie's Socrate.

Both Martin Isepp and Geoffrey Parsons are sensitive partners who contribute a great deal to the performance. One of my favorite moments is Isepp's lively and rhythmic solo at the beginning of L'hiver a cessé.

This is a superb collection with a reasonable price tag. Bravo! Bis!

You don't have to know French to appreciate this album..........2000-11-30

I was introduced to the earthy-ethereal sound of Anggun by a friend who lent me Snow on the Sahara, and was quickly moved to find more of her work. This, the original French version of the album that was later translated into English (not the other way around!), creates a world of beauty and wonder that needs no translation. Some of the tracks (La Neige au Sahara, Always, etc.) are almost exactly the same music-wise as their English counterparts, but many have additions or introductions in different languages and there are a few tracks (like La Memoire des Rochers) which are not found on the English translation. To me, the "flow" of this album works even better in French than in English--possibly because of the many subtle transitions and between-song bits omitted in the latter. However, ultimately it is this "flow" which sets it apart, not the language in which it was sung, because Anggun's music will move you no matter what language you speak. My recommendation: for anyone who understands the languages of love and beauty, this album is for you!

Beautiful!.......1999-11-09

This album is simply a beautiful listening experience with Anggun's French smash hits. By the way, THIS is the original version - the English album is just a translation. Stick with the original! It's awesome and you won't regret it!

A true temptation for true-blue Anggun music lovers.......1999-09-07

`Au nom de la lune',is a French version for Anggun's english version CD of`Snow on the Sahara'.When first I listen to the CD,it sounds a bit familiar to the english version.The opening track,`La neige au Sahara'[Snow on the Sahara]is gives you a unique blend of Javanese music and Pop.While`La rose des vents'[A rose in the wind]giving you a mixed of ancient Javanese and Pop with some Bahasa Indon quotes.The Hinduism effect could be heard in `Gita'.There are two Javanese songs included in this album:`Selamanya' and`Ceria'.My perception for `Selamanya'is about a earthlink princess who fall in love with a young prince or God from abode.And the must-listen last song is the one&only english song`Always'[Secrets of the sea].Although all songs are sung in french but no wonder it is a best-selling album in France alone that sells more than one million copies.Gotta get it before it flies over the moon!

L'Album d'Anggun en Francais est tres magnifique!.......1999-08-15

Stunning. That's the only way to describe this album. Anggun first recorded this album, completely in French, in 1997, and in 1998 came "Snow On the Sahara" which is the English version. This album includes several preludes, such as "Gita", "Pluies", and "Blanca" which is part of the song "Valparaiso" on the English version, but has it's own title here. ALL of her gorgeous songs from the English album are here, although some have different titles. But the bonus of this album, for those that might not consider it is the song "La Memoire Des Rochers" which is a magnificent French song that is not translated into English for "Snow on The Sahara". It is simply gorgeous, with her trademark mixture of Asian sounds and rock/pop influences combining with her amazing voice for a song that is stunning. It certainly stands comparison with any of her songs. If "La Memoire Des Rochers" is evidence of what may appear on future albums, I will be the first in line to buy them! Worth every penny and every star!
