I heard it also, and am lucky enough to have Barbara Courtney-King on "Pastourelle" LP [1982] inspired by Songs of the Auvergne. Also featured are Rod Argent, Ray Cooper, Julian Lloyd Webber & the Gabrielli String Quartet. The tracks include:

Pastourelle
Mirabel Bridge
The Spinner
The Young Shepherdess
Shepherd's Song
3 Bourrees
Bailero
Come Follow Me
I am so Sad
Unhappy the Man
Lullaby
Forsaken Shepherdess

The sleeve notes conclude: "It was a magic album for us all; we were not trying to say anything especially new, but these little tunes took hold of us and told us what to do,and the songs say it all."

A truly brilliant recording!
