Music reviews of Faur?: Requiem, Op. 48; Pell?as et M?lisande, Suite, Op. 80; Pavane, Op. 50

Music Review: Take Your Time
Rating: 5 Stars

Having heard many performances of this piece, I have to differ with the reviewers here who say this performance "drags." Faure's Requiem is not a dramatic stage production like Verdi's, or a liturgical heavyweight like Mozart's. Faure's approach is entirely meditative and contemplative. You're supposed to float along with the gorgeous sounds. Dutoit sets up such a quiet continuity that the one major climax in the Requiem sounds overwhelming, even though it would be a quiet moment in the Verdi. Dutoit and Montreal recorded much of the Romantic and Contemporary French repertoire exceedingly well, and this is no exception. With a fine Pelleas et Melisande on the same disc, this is the one to own.

Description of Faur?: Requiem, Op. 48; Pell?as et M?lisande, Suite, Op. 80; Pavane, Op. 50

A fine French touch is evident in this collaboration between the Swiss- born conductor Charles Dutoit and his Canadian orchestra. They give a highly polished performance of the standard Pell?as et M?lisande Suite, a reading both suave and supple that is characterized throughout by a remarkable beauty of sound. Emphasizing the idyllic aspect of Faur?'s conception, Dutoit is at his best in the suite's inner movements. The recording is ideally atmospheric and well detailed, and, combined with Faur?'s Requiem, is the preferred one. --Ted Libbey
