This is the premiere recording of Fauré’s complete Vocalises, a thirty-strong collection which has lain undiscovered for over a hundred years. Written when Fauré was Director of the Paris Conservatoire, these exquisite vignettes find new life in this performance by acclaimed trumpeter Jonathan Freeman-Attwood and French piano music expert Roy Howat, who edited the newly discovered works for publication in 2013.

The 'bonus tracks' are taken from Jonathan's earlier recordings La trompette retrouvée and Trumpet Masque and provide a little Baroque counterpoint.

A 24-bit 192 kHz studio master for this album is available from the Linn Records website.
