Twenty-five selected songs for High Voice by Gabriel Fauré. English translations by Marion Farquhar.

This is a collection of the most famous songs of Fauré. Diction lessons were recorded by coach conductor and diction specialist Pierre Vallet. The diction for each song is recorded twice: first recited as an actor would speak it showing flow of the language and mood followed by a slow deliberate lesson allowing time for the student to repeat each line. This experienced language coach adapts the ?R? in French in the slow versions as recommended for classical singers. He is also very sensitive to liaisons between word sounds in musical settings.

Fragment of the string quartet Silent Walls-'Novelty of form selected modulations strange tone colours the use of completely unexpected rhythms' this is how Camille Saint-Saëns praised the debut work of a young colleague and continued: 'Above everything is a charm that surrounds the whole work and makes the mass of average listeners accept the most surprising audacities as something entirely natural.' The First Violin Sonata by Gabriel Fauré (1845 1924) was indeed an extraordinary composition which at the same time opened the way for the oeuvre of one of the most important French composers in the late 19th century and early 20th century: It was particularly with songs and pianomusic that he could win the heart of the audience. In the 1870s Fauré wrote three songs which were originally not meant to be a unity but were later assembled under opus number 7. The first song is 'Après Un Rêve' a romantic rapturous song which like a 'Song Without Words' by Mendelssohn is perfect for making music with an accompanied solo instrument.
