Is that just the Requiem tonybob or Faure in general ? If the latter, try the chamber music.

"The Faure Album" by Gil Shaham. Has a sonata for violin and piano plus several smaller dance pieces and a substantial trio for piano, cello and violin. It's on Shaham's own label, Canary but distributed by Vanguard I think.

One of my favourite easy pieces of Faure is Berseuse for violin and piano.
This one always puts me in a good mood.
I also played first violin sonata once (accompanied of course) and I liked it very much.
I usually love Faure's music. He has sophistication, colors.
His Requiem is good too.
I agree with BobbyZ about piano trio.
I consider myself Faure fan.

Please try L'Horizon Chimerique, a song cycle, and the late Barcarolles and Nocturnes (piano pieces).

Two nights of nothing but French music. Is that inspired programming? I've enjoyed each piece in its own right but I wonder whether some religious music for the dead is what one normally wants to listen to on a Saturday night. Not much of a party, is it?

I agree, Tony.  Given that it can’t be sheer chance that M Fischer has given us two Proms with nothing but French works I wonder what the official reason was: July 14th was last week, after all!

Having said that, I enjoyed tonight’s Prom.  There was nothing to beat last night’s Berlioz, but the Saint-Saëns was most enjoyable, as I would expect from Steven Isserlis; and the Fauré is the least pompous, and possibly the least miserable, of requiems.
