Digital Booklet

|||||
"... accompanist Roy Howat is a specialist in French music and studied in Paris with Vlado Perlemuter, who worked with Fauré. The prerequisites for an idiomatic recording of the piano parts for these Fauré songs is thus well catered for ... Jared Schwartz, who is a true bass, is in many ways an expressive singer ... in the middle and upper part of his register he is sensitive and nuanced ... to sum up: largely well considered readings ..."
- MusicWeb International
Pianist Roy Howat accompanies bass Jared Schwartz on the first collection of Fauré’s melodies conceived for a bass voice. This is also the first recording based on the new Peters Edition which eliminates countless errors in older publications. Going beyond the often arbitrary ordering of early editions, the programme draws out connections of poets and poetic themes, some of which restore Fauré’s own original groupings. Schwartz and Howat juxtapose the composer’s most popular songs with some of his lesser known works.
