Snow White sings Canteloube, accompanied by the composer: a rare and newly remastered album, transferred to CD for the first time. As RJ Stove outlines in a new essay for this important Eloquence release, Lucie Daullène (b.1931) was nearer 19 than (as the legend has it) 15 years old in 1949-50 when she recorded an album of 'Chants de France' for L'Oiseau Lyre. Her voice, all the same, is so light, fresh and uncoloured by finesse that one may readily hear why Canteloube thought she was ideal. 'That's how French folk songs should be sung,' he once wrote. Though Daullène made only one more classical recording, she later achieved a measure of fame (now named Dolène) as the voice of Disney's heroine Snow White in the dubbed French version of the movie.
