Barbara Bonney: "Chanson d'amour" by Gabriel Fauré

[louise181991]

this just oh so beautiful. pretty sure that epuiseront is supposed to be pronounced epuiseurent though! shame, as she repeats it so many times, and it's the bes version i've heard!

[miltsar]

exquisite

This is beyond exquisite. Is the recording available commercially?

Tres belle!

this is a masterpiece. in the true french style, bonney sings this simply, yet with much grace. definitely my favorite interpretation. i especially like when she forgoes the breath around 1:26 and softly connects rebelle with jeme.

Her singing gives us all that tender and sensitive moments we all need to deal with day to day life...only through love we will approach to an "everlasting spiritual life"!!!! Thanks for sharing this Divine interpretation!!!.

This was the first music I heard this morning on our marvelous classical music station, KUSC (University of Southern California). It was like waking up and being in heaven. Exquisite music exquisitely sung. What a delight.
