VOCAL MUSIC BY FAURÉ

First edition = Première publication = Erstveröffentluchung. Howat recently recorded these works in instrumental form with trumpeter Jonathan Freeman-Attwood, who wrote in the compact disc's liner notes: "No-one would claim that a vocalise lasting between thirty-five seconds and two minutes represents a masterpiece but each one affords us a touching and intimate understanding of how Fauré simply could not devise a musical 'test' without imbuing it with rounded finesse and character and without a hint of prolixity" (Fauré: Lydia's Vocalises, Linn Records CKD 488 [2014]).
