Equally impressive is the variety of interpretative approaches, and the polish with which each is carried off. There is great discrimination in the use of instruments (certainly as compared with some of Alla Francesca’s previous recordings). The astonishing artistry of the flautist and recorder player Pierre Hamon is as conspicuous as ever (Par maintes foys), but the individual singers are also given greater chance to shine individually and (most importantly) the two agendas no longer compete with each other. This is the place to mention Brigitte Lesne, whose distinctive but perfectly controlled vibrato is a singing-lesson in itself; and the scarcely less individual timbre of Emmanuel Bonnardot, restrained yet intense. Both are heard in
I will close (as does the disc) with the magical Je vous pri, on paper a slight enough piece, but here deeply intelligent and compellingly expressive – adjectives that apply to these interpretations as well.
