"The Poème is a wonderful vehicle for any soprano, and Véronique Gens floats Chausson's vocal lines effortlessly over the orchestra with supreme elegance and fabulous clarity; full texts are provided with the disc, but Gens's singing is so perfectly enunciated, so pure in its phrasing and articulation, you really don't need them ... The composer's only symphony, in B flat, opens in bright, soaring mood, with a yearning slow movement and an "animé" finale that pulls all the work's ideas together. Perhaps it doesn't quite cut it as a masterpiece, but the Lille players and Bloch make a fluent, idiomatic case. The presence of Gens in the gorgeous Poème is the real draw here".

"Editor's choices - March 2019: Chausson's sensual 'poem of love and the sea' could have been tailor-made for Gens, whose onyx-bright soprano is capable of incredible nuance and rides the quasi-Wagnerian orchestral outbursts with ease; the lesser-known Symphony (premiered two years earlier than the song-cycle) also receives a persuasive performance from Bloch and the Lille orchestra, but buy this for the Poème".

"Sie liefern eine genau ausgehörte, aber vorsichtige Deutung, die der dramatischen Potenz des Werks letztlich etwas schuldig bleibt".

"Editor's choice: A performance that ranks, unquestionably, among the finest to date. Superbly sung, and wonderfully well conducted and played by Alexandre Bloch and his Lille orchestra, this is an interpretation of great beauty and insight. Gens's dark tone and her ability to fuse sound with sense allow her both to encompass the work's rapturous lyricism and to map out the psychological subtlety of its depiction of the painful end of an affair".
