Les Fables de La Fontaine, Vol. 2

Title: Les Fables de La Fontaine, Vol. 2
Description: 2004 Les Fables de La Fontaine, Vol. 2. Racontées par Michel Galabru et Jean Topart. CD. Frémeaux & Associés. Unknown source..

This is the latter of two CD's that are apparently identical in content with the two-CD set from the same firm in 2012, which one can find elsewhere on this page. This second disc has 17 fables, listed on the back of the packaging. As I mention there, these CD's may be the best representation of a great reading of these, some of the best known fables of La Fontaine. The outer cellophane packaging here displayed many of the same notices of prizes these recordings have won! The booklet offers the very same critique texts by Jean-Pierre Collinet as the booklet nine years later, now newly formatted, as is the packaging of the discs. As there, one finds in the booklet plentiful Doré illustrations. Did the first disc do so well that they made a second disc a year later? The first disc curiously shows no "Volume 1" to correspond to the "Volume 2" here.
