Gabriel Fauré ‒ Pelléas et Mélisande Suite, Op. 80

[@audejavel2329]

Je ne sais pas si vous êtes comme moi mais à la fin de la mort de Mélisande quand sa jolie âme quitte son corps pour s'envoler dans les limbes symbolisée par les flutes dans les dernières mesures, les larmes me viennent aux yeux, quelle grâce...

[@ShiddyFinkelstein]

Thank you very much for this. It's been a favorite for many years. Great times for music in 1898. Viva Faure! Got to appreciate Ozawa's wonderful direction and overall great career as well.

[@EmFdtr]

Rest in Peace, dear Maestro Ozawa. This recording was the only consolation I had in my life for many years. ご冥福をお祈りします/I pray for your happiness in the next world. ❤🙏🏼🙏🏼

Certainement la plus belle suite sur ce thème', l'utilisation des flutes lui donne toute sa couleur un peu féérique...

Une émotion mélée de grâce exquise...

Bien résumé . Il y a de l'élégance chez cet élève de Saint Saens.🏙

Pelléas et Mélisande, Op. 80: III. Sicilienne it's one of my favorite songs, this is so beautiful

[@yvettevernet4759]

Haunting and beautiful.

[@MiaFeigelsonGallery]

Medtanaculus, thanks for posting this Suite to KZbin, the performance is as flawless as it is expressive and moving ! Thanks for the information as well ! In a way we are lucky that Fauré, unable to meet the deadline of the London production of Maeterlinck's play in 1898, eventually decided to orchestrate the piece and thus create this blissful Suite which you kindly shared with us.

[@missmimington9606]

Well, I know that I had been looking for this song since I was very small; a T.V broadcasting channel for children would play it sometimes with pretty moving images on the screen, and was never able to locate the source! It’s a miracle that I did

[@ethanheadbeats]

it sounds like harry potter

[@hectorberlioz1449]

This is not the Boston sinfonia but the Boston Symphony Orchhestra under Seiji Ozawa and not Seigi....sic!

[@rominn2184]

Boring. Harmonically dull and unadventurous for French music. No real passion or expression. Debussy's is of course better on another level. The Sicilienne really is overrated.

[@ethancolmancomposer]

Faure is far from dull. Have you even listened to his pieces?

[@rominn2184]

@@ethancolmancomposer ^ Obviously I’ve listened to his music if I have this opinion. To each their own. Sorry, but compared to Debussy or even Bizet, he’s just not as good. Yes, he uses harmonies found in French music of the time of course, but doesn’t pull at the emotional heartstrings nearly as much as the others.

[@ethancolmancomposer]

@@rominn2184 You are entitled to your opinion of course but the statements you make about his music sound like you are unfamiliar. I don't think a comparison to Debussy is quite accurate, considering Debussy is much more of a crucial figure in French impressionism and has around 20 years on Faure. Also, much more forward-thinking. I think Faure's close contemporary Saint-Saens is a better comparison. Saint-Saens was arguably more of a traditional romantic and contrapuntist. Still, Faure is a master of harmony and voice leading. That cannot be overlooked. If you don't connect with him, that's fine. But he is still a genius.
