CD Reviews

Hypnotic, haunting, hopeful, happy
Vincent Poirier | Tokyo, Japan | 10/25/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"For me, the late romantic French composers evoke dreamy moods and airy feelings rather than crisp plot-like melody developments. Think of Debussy's Clair de Lune or Satie's Gymnopédie, but not of Mozart's very very different Requiem.



Fauré's work is clearly mourning music but utterly devoid of despair, bitterness, fear, or dread. His music is strangely hopeful, resolutely quiet, and somewhat hypnotic. This is music for a Mass of Death but death as the inevitable yet happy end to a life well lived.



Vincent Poirier, Dublin"
