Gabriel Fauré's music glows with inner light, and his gentle touch makes the Requiem of 1888 such a popular work. But there is so much more to Fauré: a host of glorious piano music (continuing a tradition from Chopin and Schumann), a body of songs that lift French poetry effortlessly into melody and chamber music that will melt all but the hardest of hearts. As the head of the Paris Conservatoire from 1905 to 1920, Fauré oversaw the careers of numerous young composers, and he was a much-loved figure in French musical life. His is a musical voice that seems to reflect a deeply humane personality.
