Baritone Matthias Goerne, soprano Chen Reiss, cellist Eric Picard and violinist Philippe Aiche come together at Paris’s renowned Salle Pleyel for a concert of Faure’s works for chorus and orchestra. They are joined by the Orchestre de Paris under the baton of its new musical director, the GRAMMY Awardwinning conductor Paavo Jarvi. Central to the programme is Faure’s profound and graceful Requiem, which is complemented by the Cantique de Jean Racine and the rarely performed psalm-setting Super flumina Babylonis, all beautifully sung by the Choeur de l’Orchestre de Paris, and imbued with a delicate intensity by Jarvi. With the expressive Elegie for cello and orchestra, this is a luxurious all-Faure event. ( EUROARTS )
