As a composer whose life bridged the end of romanticism and the beginning of modernism, Gabriel Faur\u00e9 is often heralded as the foremost French musician of his generation. A talented organist and pianist, he was later to become director of the Paris Conservatoire. His output includes a diverse selection of chamber music, as well as the famous Pavane <\/i>and Requiem.<\/i><\/p>\n

One of Faur\u00e9\u2019s most beloved songs, Apr\u00e8s un r\u00eave<\/i> was published in 1878, later becoming the first in a set of Trois m\u00e9lodies Op. <\/i>7. Composed to the text of an anonymous Tuscan poem (freely translated into French by the eminent writer and baritone Romain Bussine), it is dedicated to Madame Marguerite Baugnies – a married woman – but an influential friend\u00a0 of Faur\u00e9 and a notorious Parisian matchmaker. In a sensitive and emotionally revealing narration, it tells the story of a romantic encounter to which the raconteur longs to return, only to abruptly awaken and discover the ecstatic falsehood of his fantasy.<\/p>\n

As perhaps the most famous art song of the French repertoire, Apr\u00e8s un r\u00eave <\/i>has been arranged for numerous solo instruments, most notably by the virtuoso cellist Pablo Casals.<\/p>\n
