Fauré: La Bonne Chanson - l'Horizon Chimérique - Ballade - Mélodies

Awards:

His voice has darkened a bit of late, with a hint of metal has crept into the sound, though his upper registers still soar easily and his colouristic range remains exceptional...Highly recommended.

About

The genre of the mélodie accompanied Fauré like a kind of personal journal. This music voluptuously – and sometimes vehemently – encompasses the meanderings of the soul: dreams, nostalgia, reflections or mirages . . . Stéphane Degout and Alain Planès take advantage of the iridescent tones of an 1892 Pleyel in their interpretation of some of his finest song cycles, including the testamentary L’Horizon chimérique.
