Andrew Keech - Music from the Movies, UK, - No 41
Disques Cinémusique should be congratulated on sharing another set of Canadian gems that might have been lost. As with all their releases, the informative and delightfully illustrated, sleeve notes are in both French and English. This is a collection that is bound to appeal to fans of the 1960s.

Robert Schulslaper - Fanfare, USA, Jan-Feb 2009
La Vraie nature de Bernadette shuttles between folk and classical music, with lively Quebecois reels in idiomatic setting for fiddle, accordion, bass, Jew’s harp, rapid clip-clop percussion, and dulcimer or auto-harp alternating with mournful cello and fugal string-writing. Throw in a bit of country-western with a comic tuba (or a synthesized substitute) pumping the bass, add a romantic Chant d’amour for wordless soprano, expressive electric guitar, and soulful violin, and the result is an entertaining brew of varied modes from good-time country exuberance to elegiac sadness.
