| Performance Notes | The twin peaks of tonights all-French programme are two masterpieces from Gabriel Faure´ and Maurice Ravel, beginning with the formers consolatory Requiem, a work whose clean lines, pure vocal textures and elegant orchestrations appear to propose a new philosophy of religion.
Prepare for temperatures to rise with the sensual awakenings and sultry dances of Ravels suite for the ballet Daphnis and Chloe, evoking an ancient world of pastoral delights. Two prayers by Lili Boulanger, who died tragically young at 24, and Faure´s incidental music written for a London production of Maeterlincks Symbolist play Pelleas and Melisande complete the evening.
