这张专辑别具一格，全部收录法国女性作曲家的歌曲，由这位才华横溢的加拿大青年歌手演唱。海伦·吉尔梅特拥有一副天赐的高亢金嗓，却能以非凡的智慧与敏感驾驭歌声。她的法语发音堪称典范，即便对法语一知半解的听众也能捕捉多数歌词的情感脉络——这尤为可贵，因为尽管专辑小册子介绍了每位作曲家（许多对我而言都是新发现），却未收录歌词文本。歌词可在厂牌官网查阅，遗憾的是没有英文翻译。
许多歌曲令人耳目一新。年近百岁却仍活跃于音乐界的瓦利·卡尔韦诺创作了充满激情的幻灭圆舞曲《月光之袍》，为专辑奠定绝佳开场。奥古斯塔·霍尔梅斯既是作曲家也是诗人，收录的四首歌曲均为她的自作词曲。她极富旋律天赋，如优美的《玫瑰时刻》，和声转换令人想起福雷，钢琴伴奏如叮咚细语。她也不乏诙谐，如《在特里亚农》中莫扎特式的俏皮小步舞曲。
保利娜·维亚尔多（全名维亚尔多-加西亚）曾是著名的次女高音，她的歌曲堪称歌手的馈赠。其中第一首改编自戈蒂埃的诗（柏辽兹《夏夜》中亦有同名篇章），另三首则基于普希金和费特的法语译诗。她的作品风格直白亲切，毫不逊色：《晚歌》是一首动人的摇篮曲，吉尔梅特在此展现了令人屏息的轻柔吟唱——很难想象当代歌剧明星能演绎出如此纯净的美感。
玛格丽特·卡纳尔开阔的《萨阿迪的玫瑰》之后，出现了两个更为人熟知的名字：首先是艾米·马西·切尼·比奇（艾米·比奇）的《我问鸟儿》，这位才华横溢的美国作曲家属于所谓的新英格兰乐派。这首歌似乎激发了歌手更深的情感投入，比其他曲目更富诗意与感染力。
随后必然且恰当地出现了塞西尔·沙米纳德的两首作品，其中《蓝色国度》尤为动人，伤感的怀旧中夹杂着幻灭感。这些歌曲的钢琴伴奏堪称完美，马丁·迪贝是吉尔梅特的理想搭档：他始终默契呼应，敏锐却从不喧宾夺主。
梅尔·博尼斯的人生充满戏剧甚至悲剧色彩。她为著名的《圣母颂》所作的阴郁改编以一种奇特的未完成感收尾——或许表达了宗教疑虑？她全名梅兰妮，却以缩写名发表作品，只为隐瞒女性身份。
仅凭珍妮·兰德里仅50秒的《死亡，当你前来带我》，这张专辑便值得一听：如宝石般璀璨夺目。而能同时欣赏到布朗热姐妹莉莉与娜迪亚的作品亦令人欣喜。莉莉虽因健康不佳英年早逝，却天赋异禀，《她庄严而快乐》便是明证。姐姐娜迪亚在漫长的一生中不遗余力地推广妹妹的作品，使其广为人知。
这张美妙专辑的终曲是梅尔·博尼斯的《Invocation》，歌词写道：“……那独特而庄严的时刻，我曾为你祝福”——这正是我的心声。

Now here’s something; a CD consisting entirely of songs by French female composers, sung by this stunning young Canadian singer. Hélène Guilmette has one of those very high, golden soprano voices that is a great gift of nature; but she uses it with exceptional intelligence and sensitivity. Her diction is also quite outstanding, with the result that someone with a reasonable grasp of French can catch the drift of most of these songs. Which is just as well because, although the booklet contains interesting information about each composer many of them new to me, there are no texts. Those are to be found on the label’s website although even there you unfortunately do not get English translations.
The songs themselves were, in many cases, a revelation. Wally Karveno – now coming up to a hundred years old but still apparently involved in music - has written a passionate waltz of disillusionment, La robe de la lune (The Robe of the Moon), which gets the CD off to a great start. Augusta Holmès was both composer and poet, and the four songs here are all settings of her own texts. She had a great gift for melody, as demonstrated in the lovely L’heure rose (Sunset Hour), with its harmonic shifts reminiscent of Fauré, and gently tinkling accompaniment. She was witty too, as we find in À Trianon, a flirtatious Mozartian minuet.
Pauline Viardot (or Viardot-Garcia being her full name) was a celebrated mezzo-soprano in her day, and these songs are a true gift for any singer. The first of them is a setting, of a Gautier poem familiar from Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été, while the other three are based on poetry by Pushkin and Feth in French translation. Her songs are charmingly direct and straightforward, but none the worse for that. Chant du soir (Evening Song) is a delightful lullaby, and here, as elsewhere, Guilmette produces some breathtakingly lovely soft singing. Somehow, I can’t imagine many of our modern opera stars coming up with numbers of comparable beauty.
After Marguerite Canal’s expansive Les Roses de Saadi we come across two rather more familiar names; firstly there is the gorgeous Je demande à l’oiseau (I ask the bird) by Amy Marcey Cheney Beach* - Amy Beach - the prodigiously talented American, a member of the so-called New England School of composers. This song draws something extra from the singer, it seems to me; an even greater sense of emotional and poetic involvement than we find on the other tracks.
Then inevitably, and quite rightly, two pieces by Cécile Chaminade; of these, perhaps the more striking is Au pays bleu, (In the Blue Land), its touching nostalgia tinged with disillusionment. The piano accompaniments of these songs are superb, and Martin Dubé makes an ideal partner for Guilmette; he is always responsive, alert, but never draws undue attention to himself.
Mel Bonis was a complex character, with a dramatic, even tragic life story. This disconsolate little setting of the famous Ave Maria prayer has a strangely inconclusive ending – expressing religious doubts perhaps? Her full name was Mélanie, but she used the abbreviated version for her published compositions in the hope of concealing that she was a woman.
It would be worth acquiring this CD for one track alone, Jeanne Landry’s tiny Mort quand tu me viendrai prendre (Death when you come to take me). Just 50 seconds long, it is a radiant gem. Then how lovely to find the two Boulanger sisters, Lili and Nadia, represented together. Lili, the younger of the two, had a short life blighted by ill-health. She was magnificently talented, as demonstrated by the very moving Elle est gravement gaie (She is Solemnly Gay). Her older sister, the redoubtable Nadia, devoted much time and effort, over the years of her long life, to ensuring that Lili’s work became more widely known.
The last song on this wonderful disc is Mel Bonis’ Invocation, which contains the words "…… l’heure unique et solennelle, où je vous ai bénis", - ‘the unique and solemn hour when I blessed you’. My feelings exactly. -- Gwyn Parry-Jones
