The final volume in the acclaimed series with Malcolm Martineau, charting the complete songs of French composer Gabriel Fauré and performed by a selection of the world's finest singers. This series follows Martineau's heralded 5-CD series of The Complete Songs of Francis Poulenc.
"[La Bonne Chanson] is the centrepiece, sung with grace, finesse and variety by Kitty Whately…Chest performs Fauré's final four-song cycle, L'horizon chimérique (1921), with the kind of elegance and cool passion this music demands: a fitting close to an excellent series." The Guardian
"The concept of the series mixes singers from different generations - all of them British - which provides a vivid palette of colours for the superb pianist Malcolm Martineau to play with. Everybody has something different to offer and there are surprises aplenty." - 4/5 BBC Music Magazine
