Description

2005 Les Fables de La Fontaine pour les petits, Volume 1. CD. Avec la partcipation [sic] de Jean-Pierre Darras. MCSA Entertainment. Vente exclusivement réservé à la Belgique. $.01 from music-n-dvds through Ebay, Dec., '06.

Several things are remarkable about this disc. First is the price for which I was able to obtain it. It could not be lower! Next is that a goodly portion of the disc seems to repeat, from Puzzle Productions, readings of four fables by Jean-Pierre Darras from a disc we have, produced in 1999. The third remarkable thing is that the other five presentations are as different as could be from Darras' readings. They are a kind of "children's radio theater" presentation of the fables, complete with giggles, sirens, the sound of pouring lemonade, and church bells. These are dramatizations of La Fontaine, sometimes – only sometimes, as far as I can perceive – using La Fontaine's words. I suspect the voices of, for example, the town and country mice are sped up human voices. TMCM seems to include several broken glasses or dishes and also a phone call to the town mouse. I find the grouping of these presentations with Darras' readings jarring. For the price, I guess I cannot complain. We do not have the second volume, and I will not be seeking it zealously.
