"While every agreed that the 1982-84 Decca recording with Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and the English Chamber Orchestra under Jeffrey Tate, of Joseph Canteloube's masterwork (Compiled in five volumes between 1923-1955) is on everyone's list of favorite recordings (Best brought as a twofer Double Decker set, which is still in print), this collection is even better for DVD lovers everywhere! This new Special Edition from Decca featured the DVD of the 1989 Peter Bartlett video production, which featured 16 of the 26 selections that appeared on the CD, with footage of the Auvergne Region of France, and studio footage of Dame Kiri lipsyncing to most of the selections that the DVD appeared. Both the CD and DVD featured the following songs in order of the DVD:



Bailero (A minute shorter on the DVD than on the CD)

Trois Bourrees

La Pastrouletta e lou Chibalie

L'Antouenou

Passo pel Prat

Lou Boussu

Brezairola

Malurous qu'o uno Fenno

Jou l'Pount d'o Mirabel

Tchut, Tchut

Lou Coucut

Obal, din lo Coumbelo

Quand z'eyro Petitoune

La-haut,sur le Rocher

Te, l'co, te (The listing of the timing is way off by an minute and an half on the DVD, since it's appear on the same cut on the CD, with Postouro, se tu m'aymo)

Uno Fionto Postouro



While everyone may like this one (I moved at it when I brought a VHS release of this back in 2000, and still do to this day), I perferred the DVD part of the Special Edition over the CD part (Which listed the same 16 selections) to see it on the a DVD player, while for listening to it on the DVD player, I still perferred the Decca Double Decker edition.



Neither way, it's still great to buy a copy of it, no matter what edition you want!"

She's great.

"I've had this on laser disc for years,

and enjoyed sowing it my friends. When

I found it on DVD I bought it for some

of them. It's shear pleasure to watch

and hear Kiri perform. The photography

and the scenery where out standing.
