Ms Yakar is not only a specialist in French melodies (and a native speaker of French), but is also well known as a baroque specialist. This combination of specialities often produces very fine approaches to interpretation - one sees it in the singing of Sandrine Piau, Veronique Gens, Patricia Petibon, etc. And in the singing of Rachel Yakar, the effect is marvellous - a wonderful sense of intimacy and that indefinable quality one can only call "charm". I doubt that this elusive quality can be taught - I have never yet heard a singer develop it from nothing.Tracks CD 1 (Fauré):
The first CD is especially fine - it was recorded earlier in Ms Yakar's career than the second CD, and it shows the beauty of Rachel Yakar's voice as well as her delightful and almost bitter-sweet interpretation of the melodies.
The second CD reveals some wear on the voice, unfortunately. Yet in spite of this, the interpretation is wonderful. How delightful to hear French sung idiomatically rather than with the faintest of English accents! It seems ridiculous to say this, but… French ought to be sung with a French accent. This affects everything - placement, timbre, reverberation, line, everything.
Merveilleux, Mme Yakar! This is a thought-provoking and beautiful recording worth the possessing.Ingrid Heyn @ Amazon.com
