Beautiful interpretation of Fauré’s choral piece by the Orchestre de Paris and choir under the direction of Paavo Järvi.
Fauré was a French composer, organist, pianist, and teacher who lived in the 19th and early 20th centuries. One of the most prominent French composers of his time, he is viewed as a bridge between the end of romanticism and the beginning of modernism.
