Melodies Choisies (book/download Card Al30693)

Widely acclaimed by music lovers for over a century, Selected Songs of Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) are here collected into an anthology, complete with an audio version in the form of a download card.

Excerpted from the 1st collection published in 1879, Au bord de leau and Ici bas bestow an aura of internal reverie on Sully Prudhommes simple poems, made palpËable by the harmonic refinement and vocal fluidity that constitutes the very essence of Faurean charm. 


Several vocal pages selected in the 2nd volume (1897) continue to be favourites: Les Roses dIspahan restored to their dreamy stillness, Les Berceaux whose oscillation evokes the swaying of boats, and the very nostalgic Clair de lune in which Verlaines words, set to music for the first time, inspired Fauré to write what would become one of his masterpieces: La Bonne Chanson

From this cycle, drunk on lovelorn lyricism, the collection retains Puisque laube grandit, an exalted melody if there ever was one, and La lune blanche luit dans les bois, a nocturnal landscape in F sharp major  two pearls that distil the same mystery of solace.
