Le Souvenir

« The charm of this disc shouldn’t mask its importance. Le Souvenir provides musical archaeology, digging out Canadian songs from the period that begins in the mid-19th century and ends after the First World War …. The repertoire is almost unbearably evocative and nostalgic, creating a vivid sense of past lives and domestic entertainments…. The singers have been astutely chosen to capture the richness of this past; they perform these songs with affection, sparkingly, and without a trace of irony or condescension. »
