Description:

An album featuring a collection of Faurs art songs written for the bass. It strikes a fine balance between well-known and lesser-known pieces, vividly illustrating Faurs original intentions. Jared Schwartzs singing prioritizes human warmth over French-style refinement; at times, he even employs a voice verging on a cry, resulting in a refreshingly innovative approach that sets it apart from previous interpretations of Faurs songs. This is the first recording to use the new edition published by Peters. Recorded in the United States in 2015. (C)RS
