Music reviews of Christine Sch?fer - Debussy & Chausson: M?lodies / Irwin Gage
Music Review: Lovely, unexpected, persuasive
Rating: 5 Stars
I bow to the previous reviewers, who seem to have specialist knowledge of French chansons. I don't, and my reason for listening to this CD was mainly curiosity -- how many German singers have attempted this echt Gallic repertoire? But Schafer is quite lovely, and her Frnech seems quite good. She has a slightly husky quality in her voice that's pleasing if not exactly idiomatic. Her interpretations of these sublime chansons by Chausson and Debussy eschew the preciosity that one so often enoucnters, as if Debussy must be treated like th most delicate crystal. Schager and Irwin Gage take a straightforward approach that's a bit shy of nuane but lovely in its melodic directness. It's not the only way to perform these songs, but it's very appealing.
