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

Stéphane Degout, Alain Planès

The song genre (mélodie) accompanied Fauré like a kind of personal diary. This music voluptuously - and sometimes vehemently - spans the meanders of the soul: dreams, nostalgia, reflections, or mirages ... Stéphane Degout and Alain Planès use the shimmering tones of a Pleyel from 1892 in their interpretation of some of his most beautiful song cycles, including the testamentary "L'Horizon chimérique".

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.
