Description:â??It is truly in his songs that FaurĂ© reveals the flower of his geniusâ??, wrote the composerâ??s former pupil Maurice Ravel. More than a hundred songs written over six decades made FaurĂ© perhaps the greatest master of the genre French â??mĂ©lodieâ?. The present collection takes us on a journey from FaurĂ©â??s first song cycle, â??PoĂšme dâ??un jourâ? (1878), to his last, â??Lâ??Horizon chimĂ©riqueâ? (1921), via the exultant â??La Bonne Chansonâ? (1892-94) and the intensely concentrated â??Miragesâ? of 1919. The songs have texts by French poets of FaurĂ©â??s time; here we find poems of Charles Grandmougin, Baronne de Brimont, Paul Verlaine and Jean de La Ville de Mirmont. â??Miragesâ? concludes Bettina Smithâ??s project for LAWO Classics of recording all of Gabriel FaurĂ©â??s cycles for voice and piano. It was preceded in this series by â??FĂȘtes Galantesâ? (LWC1116) and â??Serres Chaudesâ? (LWC1008), both together with pianist Einar RĂžttingen. Together they have also released â??Voices of Womenâ?, with songs of Fartein Valen, Jostein Stalheim and Ketil Hvoslef, composers from Norwayâ??s west coast. Mezzo-soprano Bettina Smith is from Bergen. After graduating from Bergen Conservatory of Music, she studied with Wout Oosterkamp and Elly Ameling at the Royal Conservatory of Music in the Hague. This was followed by two years at the ZĂŒrich International Opera Studio. With a wide repertory ranging from medieval to contemporary music, Bettina Smith appears regularly as oratorio and cantata soloist, or together with pianists Jan Willem Nelleke and Einar RĂžttingen. Dutch pianist Jan Willem Nellekeâ??s exceptional qualities as a duo partner have been widely recognised. His playing has been described as â??sparkling raindrops, rich chords and beautiful interludesâ? and as an â??ever alert co-operation with the soloistâ?. - BETTINA SMITH/JAN WILLEM NELLEKE
"It is truly in his songs that Faure reveals the flower of his genius," wrote the composer's former pupil Maurice Ravel. More than a hundred songs written over six decades made Faure perhaps the greatest master of the genre French "melodie." The present collection takes us on a journey from Faure's first song cycle, "Poeme d'un jour" to his last, "L'Horizon chimerique," via the exultant "La Bonne Chanson" and the intensely concentrated "Mirages." The songs have texts by French poets of Faure's time; here we find poems of Charles Grandmougin, Baronne de Brimont, Paul Verlaine and Jean de La Ville de Mirmont. "Mirages" concludes Bettina Smith's project for LAWO Classics of recording all of Gabriel Faure's cycles for voice and piano. It was preceded in this series by Fetes Galantes and "Serres Chaudes," both together with pianist Einar Rottingen. Together they have also released "Voices of Women" with songs of Fartein Valen, Jostein Stalheim and Ketil Hvoslef, composers from Norway's west coast.
