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.
The musicians Clara Garde, Manon Briau, Paula Gustafsson and Juan Zurutuza from the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra open up about their thoughts about Fauré and his compositions.
This piece was written by Fauré while he was director of the Paris Conservatoire. It was published together with works by other composers, following an initiative by the singing teacher at the school.
Enjoy this slow and melancholic Adagio performed by Clara Garde, Manon Briau, Paula Gustafsson and Juan Zurutuza.
It may seem obvious to write about angelic song, but when it comes to Fauré’s Requiem, the expression is perfect.
