Numbering more than 100 in total, and composed across a 60-year period, Gabriel Fauré's songs form the single most influential contribution to the field of French art song. Despite their importance, the songs have long been riddled with misprints and inconsistencies. This first complete critical edition is based on study of hundreds of manuscript and printed sources, along with evidence and interpretative advice from artists who worked with Fauré. Above all, it is a practical edition, informed by extensive work with musicians in performances, masterclasses and workshops. This second volume comprises the songs of Fauré's creative maturity, including popular favourites (Les Roses d'Ispahan, Clair de lune) alongside some lesser-known gems, together with his three vocal duets and the delightful four-voice Madrigal. / Voix Haute Et Piano

Aus ?Letzte Blätter? Von Hermann Von Gilm. Par STRAUSS RICHARD. New practical edition of the “Acht Gedichte” op. 10 by Richard Strauss from “Letzte Blätter” by Austrian poet Hermann von Gilm (1812-1864). Strauss composed these songs in 1885 when he was 21 years old. He often accompanied his wife, the soprano Pauline Strauss-de Ahna, on the piano and worked with her on interpretations of his piano songs. The resulting entries of the composer (e.g. performance markings) are reproduced in this edition. Included are three of the best-known of his songs, „Zueignung“ No. 1 (“Devotion“), „Nichts“ No. 2 (“Nought“) and „Die Nacht“ No. 3 (“Night“). The songs in this edition are set in their original keys. Based on the text of “Richard Strauss Works” – Critical Edition (RSW), with English translations by John Bernhoff./ Répertoire / Voix Haute et Piano
