Title: Fables de La Fontaine
Description: 2006 Fables de La Fontaine. CD. Louis de Funès, Gérard Philipe, François Perier, Fernandel, and others. GoHit, Ltd. €7.

This is a disappointing CD. Although it offers a variety of reciters, each of whom uses a variety of voices supported by orchestral music and sound effects, there are two serious drawbacks. First, the sound quality is not the highest. Secondly, while the jewel case advertises 24 fables, there are 17 tracks, and the last fable and a half are cut off at the end. A good example of the various voices provided by one reciter is WL. Similarly a peculiar voice for the fox in FC includes in his final putdown a good deal of laughing. Louis de Funès recites the first ten fables. There is an accompanying12-page booklet with photos of de Funès and Fernandel, but only some of the fable texts are provided.
