In many respects, Lily Pons was the Galli-Curci of her generation: a winning combination of good looks, charm, an appealing and non-confrontational timbre, and easy facility in the stratosphere. Those who learned the "Mad Scene" from Lucia di Lammermoor or the "Bell Song" from Lakmé via the original 78s back in the 40s will be bowled over by the vivid detail and lack of background noise in these stunning Sony restorations. First-time listeners will marvel at her effortless passagework and high notes (she often transposed her arias up on records); but may be put off by a slight thinness in the middle register (not evident in her Odeon recordings from the late 20s), sketchy intonation at times, and expedient aspirating in downward scales. Although these selections encompass a gamut of stylistic and emotional contrasts, you'd scarcely know it from the singer's pleasant but characterless interpretations, which tickle the ear without quite racking the brain. --Jed Distler

Highly recommended.......2007-07-09

This could have been recorded yesterday, the sound quality is excellent and without blemish. By far the best recordings of Pons I have, and I would like to have others. She reminds me of Jo, separation of notes, clear, real trills, a range to rival Sumac, flexibility to perfection, and always that today neglected once standard fare of the coloratura, the requisite leap to the top note at the end of an aria. And a pretty sound. I love this album.

Pas mal--- il vaut la peine de l'acheter!.......2001-05-23

Ben, j'ai acheté ce CD seulement pour la dernière chanson--Les Maudits Français, une chansons géniale et trop juste. Lemay a un oeil pour les parculiarités culturelles françaises. J'ai trouvé les autres bien intéressantes, bien écrites--et elle a une jolie voix claire (et quel accent, d'ailleurs, j'adore!). Je donne 4 étoiles car le CD était en général bien mais pas "brillant".

I bought this CD only for the last song, "the accursed French," a terrific song that is all too true. Lemay truly has an eye for the cultural ticks found in France. The other songs are also interesting and well written--Lemay has a clear and beautiful voice--and what an accent! Gotta love it. I give the CD 4 start in lieu of 5 because it was good, but not dazzling.

Fabulous songs in French by a wonderful girl from Quebec.......2001-02-11

When a friend mentioned to me Lynda Lemay's name, one year ago, I had never heard of her. But I can tell you, since that time I have bought this CD, as well as the former one. I truely recommend them to anyone who speaks French. Lynda has found very special ways to talk about very personal feelings (giving birth, divorce,...). But, at the same time, she can sing very funny songs about going to the hair dresser before a date, having an terrible first name, French people,...

It is definitely pleasant for French speaking people, and it should also be helpful for French teachers because she songs in a very distinct way.
