@@Mlx51 "L'élan vital de Bergson est clairement exprimé dans les airs de Fauré, et il se dirige vers le domaine métaphysique, si enivrant que l'âme est superbe et la salle virtuelle est blanche. Cela ne peut être atteint que par la civilisation française, fleur de la culture catholique. Le royaume enchanteur, seul Fauré peut écrire un si délicieux requiem, même Mozart, l'ange humain du Saint-Empire romain germanique,"(traduction très approximative de Adam Chan)
In response to the first comment, I find it sad that the writer’s appreciation of the quintet is enhanced in light of depreciating the Requiem. Both pieces convey the delicacy of Faure’s musical imagination. One senses that he does not travel towards the transcendent, but resides there. He shares the glimmers, the faint yet powerful light within and beyond his musical sand castle-fine grained sand that is carried by the strings, swirls and stirs our spirits, is deposited daintily, here and there, by piano, shifting keys-I cannot analyze, I only know that when listening, I want to fly, flitter, alight;some day soar.
