A French Fantasy - Boulanger, Faure and Ravel - T0466990089

The twin peaks of tonight's all-French programme are two masterpieces from Gabriel Faure´ and Maurice Ravel, beginning with the former's consolatory Requiem, a work whose clean lines, pure vocal textures and elegant orchestrations appear to propose a new philosophy of religion. Prepare for temperatures to rise with the sensual awakenings and sultry dances of Ravel's suite for the ballet Daphnis and Chloe, evoking an ancient world of pastoral delights. Two prayers by Lili Boulanger, who died tragically young at 24, and Faure´'s incidental music written for a London production of Maeterlinck's Symbolist play Pelleas and Melisande complete the evening. There will be an interval.Performer Golda Schultz (soprano). Performer Laurence Kilsby (tenor). Performer Thomas Mole (baritone). Company BBC Symphony Chorus. Company BBC Symphony Orchestra. Conductor Stephane Deneve.
