About
This fourthand finalinstalment in our series encompassing all Faures songs takes as its title a line from La chanson dve, the matchless cycle which confirmed its composers status as the master of French song and which concludes the Hyperion integrale. As with preceding volumes, Graham Johnson has employed a range of artiststhe very finest interpreters of French song that could be found. Generous commentaries are provided for each song along with the original poems and English translations. An alphabetical index to this four-disc cycle is printed in the booklet.

…the final volume and jewel in the crown of Hyperion's completely Fauré songs. …all the singers involved in this glorious project, while not always in their first radiance and purity of voice, never lose their sense of poetic engagement and commitment. Graham Johnson, whether writing or playing, is magically attuned to every nuance of Fauré's universe; and Hyperion's sound and presentation are impeccable.
