Fauré La bonne chanson, Op 61 La lune blanche luit dans les bois

Fauré - La bonne chanson, Op.61 - La lune blanche luit dans les bois.
La Bonne Chanson is a collection of poems written by Paul Verlaine from the winter of 1869 to the spring of 1870. Twenty-one poems belong to this group, and are mostly likely addressed to Mathilde Mauté, his future wife.

The poems are a proclamation of love, using very direct terms, and some references to nature.

Gabriel Fauré arranged nine of these poems to relate a story and used recurrent themes to unify the cycle. Fauré removes all direct descriptions of the girl and naturalist statements from the poems he chooses for inclusion in his cycle.

Ce poème est d'un charme insigne.

Que j'aimerais enlancer ma Douceureuse à l'orée de ce bois irisé par la lune!!

Je vous conseille particulièrement la version de Jérôme Corréas. C'est l'heure exquise...

I descovered Fauré's songs on LP when I was young and they've remained, throughout my life, my favorite songs of all. This is a wonderful recording, I'm adding it to my favorites, thank you.
