This is the world-premiere recording of Fauré’s complete vocalises, a thirty-song strong collection that has not seen the light of day in over a century. Written when Fauré was Paris Conservatoire Director, these exquisite vignettes are performed by a fellow Director, the Royal Academy of Music’s trumpet Principal, Jonathan Freeman-Attwood. Pianist Roy Howat, having edited the newly discovered vocalises with Emily Kilpatrick for publication in 2013, is uniquely qualified for his accompanist role.
