Useful collection, great price May 25, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Except for La Bonne Chanson and the later cycles, the bulk of Faure's excellent song output appeared in three collections of 20 songs each, published in both high- and medium-voice versions. 100 years ago, in 1908, he published the third of those, and made final revisions to the first and second. This Dover edition reprints all 60 (medium-voice versions) together. It's especially useful because the E.B.Marks/Belwin reprints of the three volumes are hard to find (with so many publication & distribution changes over the years), and might not even be available anymore; and the Hamelle/Leduc (official) French editions are surely more expensive. Always be careful with Dover's reprints, which in general are of uneven quality as some come from inadequate or undesirable sources; but this volume is a good one. (A bit weak in visual quality, coming from old originals, but strong on authority and completeness.)
