Description:

[Classical Masters No. 10] A collection of definitive and long-selling recordings from Warner Classics (formerly EMI Classics). The analog recordings are the latest remastered recordings from analog masters made by Abbey Road Studios and other overseas studios. The front cover uses the original overseas cover design. Commentary, lyrics, and bilingual translation included. A collection of orchestral works faithfully reproduced from the originals with the addition of vocal music. What Fauré's music needs most is the delicate sensitivity peculiar to French music. Born in France, Plasson, who has been actively performing the music of his own country, is the perfect conductor for Fauré.
