Aperitivo im Camaro Haus | La bonne chanson

A recital with Frederico Spina (tenor) and Joon Oh Kim (piano).

La bonne chanson - the good song, the simple song: Gabriel Fauré's cycle from 1892, based on the series of poems of the same name by Paul Verlaine. Fauré needed a soft text that yielded to the notes and offered no resistance. He aimed at the general feeling of a poem rather than the details. In Verlaine's poetry he found a kinship that moved him to radicalize his aesthetic.

Also on the program: Cinq melodies de Venise; Claire de Lune op.46, No.2; Nocturne No.1 in E minor, op.33; Spleen, op.5, No.3; Prison, op.83, No.1; and Barcarole No.1, in A minor, op.26

"For me, art, and above all music, exists to elevate us as far as possible above everyday existence." Fauré
