" A collection of folk songs from the Auvergne region of France arranged for soprano voice and orchestra by Joseph Canteloube between 1923-1930. The songs are in the local language, Occitan.
The Auvergne region of France is a high plateau with extinct volcanoes and green, rolling hills stretching as far as the eye can see. Under summer skies, it is a land of skylarks, butterflies and lush carpets of wildflowers. This all comes across in the lilting strains of the folk song "Baïlèro," a shepherd's call in the Auvergne dialect arranged by the French composer Marie Joseph Canteloube. " YouTube

So perhaps a wee bit more than simply folk inspired. Thanks.
I am more familiar with the Netania Davrath, Victoria de los Angeles and Sarah Brightman versions so I will listen with interest.

Was wondering whether you might be familiar with this folk inspired material. The performance I acquired a decade or so back (Martinez) I found wanting in the vocal department. I wish I could have used the version by Upshaw as it brings out the glory of the instrumental score to good effect, but I didn't care for her vocal either. The performance I settled on, while great vocally, if a bit idiosyncratic, doesn't do the accompaniment full justice, but is adequate. I passed on Davrath and many others, but will have check out de los Angeles and Brightman.
@Rossy92 I through serendipity obtained the vinyl Davrath back in the mid 90's when starting my folk broadcasts and so was more interested in the lyrics than anything as I had little French folk recordings. This was also a time prior to my knowing anything about the internet and I doubt Google, Amazon etc. then existed. What I found fascinating was the fact that there were no recordings available to me by French artists. Davrath is an Israeli.
