Gorgeous!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I own several versions of Les Nuits d'Ete: the Crespin among them. That version is still the best, but this version with various soloists led by John Eliot Gardiner is the next best I've heard. All the soloists sing with French suavity---and thankfully there's no heaviness in any of their voices. JEG leads his orchestra in superb accompaniment.

As good as Les Nuits though are the stand-alone songs. I would venture to say "La Belle Voyageuse" is as original as any of the Summer Nights songs. How could anyone resist those lulling waves of the sea, with Diana Montague's gorgeuous voice atop?"
