Fêtes Galantes: Debussy, Grime, Faure, Clearfield, Mendelssohn

Fauré illuminates Verlaine’s moonlit scenes of rhapsody and reverie, and Andrea Clearfield explores the mysterious and wild place where dreams become manifest. Helen Grime unmasks the moondrunk clown, and Mendelssohn works his magic with a glorious chamber concerto of elegant, sparkling brilliance.
