andante - cd reviews - Canteloube: Songs of the Auvergne 'The 16 members of the Canadian Chamber Ensemble play with such beauty and transparency that there is no sense of "making do" with less-than-ideal forces; the gorgeous accompaniment swells and flows around Gauvin's voice, enhancing her breathtaking vocalism. Equal praise goes to recording and mastering engineer Peter Cook, who flatters voice and instruments with an exceptionally natural acoustic, and to acoustician Russell Johnson, the man responsible for the lush sound in the recording venue, the Armenian Theatre in Kitchener, Ontario.
It would be easy to wonder, in an age when so much standard repertoire is available in so many versions, whether another recording of Songs of the Auvergne is really necessary. But this magnificent disc is sure to delight and it more than earns its place on the shelf.' Nice! But I'll tell you what. I'm not flattering anything. I'm just capturing what was there. Karina is divine. Follow the link to the entire review.
