Fauré: Après un rêve

This is one of Fauré’s most famous melodies, beautifully performed by the Gothenburg Symphony’s solo cellist Claes Gunnarsson. Originally it was written for voice, in the lyrics you dream of a romantic trip with the one you love, but get disappointed when you wake up and realise it was only a dream. Fauré became famous for his songs with the French public, and his beautiful melodies are also picked up by instrumentalists.
