Music reviews of The Best of Fauré

Music Review: Another Naxos Home Run!
Rating: 5 Stars

What a nice compilation of Fauré's premiere works! Congratulations, Naxos, and thanks for producing this one at a steal of a price too!

Just as an introduction for those who haven't yet had the pleasurable experience of hearing the works of this French Master as yet, Gabriel Urbain Fauré (1845-1924) produced compositions that, in my opinion, '...are incredibly pleasant to listen to'. That's about the best that I can descibe his various brilliant works.

He lived and worked during a time when such palatable music was being launched by a number of renowned musical artisans such as Rimsky-Korsakov, Debussy, and (later) Prokofiev. And, of course, being in Paris, the planetary capital of all the arts, for a good amount of time, his environment no doubt contributed to his clear inspiration.

This CD is a very nice representation of his more popular works. Casual Classical Music fans might think that they've never heard Fauré before, but I'll bet that most have. Just listen to tracks 7 and 8 on this recording (Pelleas et Melisande, Musique de scene, op. 80, "Prelude" and "Sicilienne") and you'll probably say, "Oh yeah! I've always liked that one!"

There are two superb excerpts from his famous "Requiem, op. 48", including the "Pie Jusu" and the "In paradisum" (there was no "Dies irae" in this composition), featuring Colm Carey on the organ. Of course, being an omnibus collection, multiple excellent orchestras and singers are featured on the recording.

I WISH that there had been a cut from "Pénélope," Faure's famous opera which first premiered in 1913 in the famous Paris art deco forum, (le) Théàtre des Champs-Elysées, during Serge Diaghilev's "Ballet Russe". (Stravinky's "The Rite of Spring" was also launched here in 1913!); however, maybe it is, in fact, best to hear "Pénélope" in its complete form. Just a thought.

If you much enjoy "easy listening" Classical Music, then snag this one right away -- you won't be sorry that you did.
