Graham Johnson - Faure: The Complete Songs, Vol. 2 - Un paysage choisi

This second instalment in our exciting new series encompassing all Faure�s songs takes its title from the opening line of Clair de lune��Votre �me est un paysage choisi� (�Your soul is a chosen landscape�)�which is regarded by many as representing the pinnacle of Faure�s considerable achievement in the genre. Here we have songs reflecting the various seasons of the year, atmospheric landscapes from Tuscany to Versailles, and the various mystical symbols of Van Lerberghe�s Le jardin clos.As with volume one, Graham Johnson has employed a veritable panoply of artists�the very finest interpreters of French song that could be found. Generous commentaries are provided for each song along with the original poems and English translations.
