Gabriel Fauré: Some comparative performances


Fauré (1845- 1924)
Ninon Vallin sings "Les Berceaux" (Piece begins around 2 minutes in, if you're in a hurry. Also, I'm not sure, but it may be Cortot at the piano!)



Elly Ameling sings "Après un rêve"; Dalton Baldwin, piano



Georges Thill sings "Après un rêve"



Nicolai Gedda sings "Nell"

Two different versions of Kiri Te Kanawa singing "Nell"

Kiri Te Kanawa sings "Nell"; Richard Amner, piano (First Version)



Kiri Te Kanawa sings "Nell"; Roger Vignoles, piano (Second Version)
