Surprisingly good.

Whether you know French or not, this recording is extremely moving. My French is spotty at best, but to hear Rimbaud's words imbued with the emotion of the readers on this recording is extremely inspiring. The definite highlight for me is the 'Le Bateau Ivre' recording. It captures the intent of the poem beautifully and I highly recommend it. The only down side to this album is the tendency to sing the works rather than simply read them, but it was cool to see that a lot of them work very well as songs. Definitely check it out.
