Donald Macleod explores some of the many turning points in
Fauré’s career


Gabriel Fauré’s story begins during the second half of the 19th
century, when the musical world was dominated by the heavily
romantic voices of composers like Wagner, Brahms and Liszt. Fauré
became a key protagonist in a musical revolution that opened
audiences ears to new modes of expression - modern, refined and
utterly French. As a composer, and as a teacher at the Paris
Conservatoire, he left a huge legacy on the music of the
twentieth century. This week Donald Macleod explores some of the
many turning points in Fauré’s career, and how those events
affected his life and his art.
