Programm
Fauré needed a supple text that yielded to the music and offered no resistance. He aimed for the general mood of a poem rather than its details. In Verlaine’s poetry, he found a kinship that inspired him to radicalize his aesthetic.
Also on the program:
Cinq mélodies de Venise; Claire de Lune, Op. 46, No. 2; Nocturne No. 1 in E-flat minor, Op. 33; Spleen, Op. 5, No. 3; Prison, Op. 83, No. 1; and Barcarolle No. 1 in A minor, Op. 26
