Description

Gabriel Fauré became world-famous for one vocal work, namely the "Requiem". This new CD from the British discovery label "toccata" shows: There is far more exciting vocal music by Fauré than we previously knew. And so we hear here an entire album of music for bass voice and piano, including (as is customary with toccata) again some world-class performances. The American bass Jared Schwartz is one of the established opera singers in his home country.
