The best song writers come from Germany-Austria, France, and Russia. Not much from the Spaniards, the Italians, or the British (the latter not since the 17th century). I have been listening to a new CD of French mélodies, sung by Sabine Devieilhe. Titled “Chanson d'Amour” it collects 29 French mélodies by Fauré, Poulenc, Ravel and Debussy. I never tire of Devielhe's voice; it is a young, attractive soprano. Happy listening.
