Work: L'horizon chimérique, Op.118

Fauré was the finest of French songwriters. Stéphane Degout and Véronique Gens shine in a full-length evening in a packed Wigmore Hall. 

For the first Lied, we rediscover his velvet and rosewood timbre, so skilled at painting the chiaroscuro of the human soul.

From Fauré and Duparc to Barber, Ives and Copland, the Canadian bass-baritone and Julius Drake explore a range of song.
