Dame Kiri Te Kanawa sings "Après un rêve" by Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924). Piano / Roger Vignoles. Recorded from the recital "Chanson de la France" , 1986.
@tcradical Romantic? It's tragic. Faure wrote this after his engagement ended. The text is talking about being haunted by the image of the lover in a dream, and preferring the lies of the dream to cold reality.
sublime..perfect as always

@ksmithsoprano I knew what it was talking about, I did not know the text was linked to that sad event in Faure's life. Thanks again.

Such a romantic song to be sung sooo coldly! She is great at some things and has a wonderful instrument and technique but at this song she sucks.
