There's something about 19th century French music that's just so true, so sincerely sentimental and delicate. I like to think there's a certain "something" in it's contrast with Russian music from the same period, they're almost absolute opposites, but if you "add" them, they become two parts of the same thing, they become something so intense and delicate at the same time, so brutal, sexual, and soothing. I could never find these feelings in German, Oriental, American, or any other type of academic music. It's no wonder that the French loved Russian music, and that the Russians loved French music. These two just sum up what it is to be human.
In Après un rêve (originally published in 1878), a dream of romantic development with a lover, away from darkness, and towards an awakening light is described. However, the dreamer longs to return to the "mysterious night". The text of the poem is an anonymous Italian poem freely adapted into French by Romain Bussine: After a dream In a slumber enchanted by your image I dreamt of happiness, passionate mirage, Your eyes were softer, your voice pure and resonant, You shone like a sky lit up by the dawn; You called me and I left the earth To run away with you towards the light, The skies opened their clouds for us, Unknown splendours, divine flashes glimpsed, Alas! Alas! sad awakening from dreams I call you, O night, give me back your lies, Return, return radiant, Return, O mysterious night!
Dans un sommeil que charmait ton image Je rêvais le bonheur, ardent mirage; Tes yeux était plus doux, ta voix pure et sonore, Tu rayonnais comme un ciel éclairé par l'aurore. Tu m'appelais et je quittais la terre Pour m'enfuir avec toi vers la lumière; Les cieux pour nous, entr'ouvraient leurs nues, Splendeurs inconnues, lueurs divines entrevues... Hélas! Hélas, triste réveil des songes! Je t'appelle, ô nuit, rends-moi tes mensonges; Reviens, reviens radieuse, Reviens, ô nuit mystérieuse !
Well, I don't speak French, but I kind of see someone waking up from such a wonderful dream. And you know dreams...they never occur again in the same way.
J'en reste bouche bai ! Je ne peux rien dire ! Je ne dois pas parler ! Je suis juste là à écouter ce magnifique morceau ! À en pleurer !!! Une pure beauté ! Merci !
Recording by: Lillian Rehberg Goodman, cello Harold Bogin, piano: "Cello Religioso - Cello Amoroso" 1975. the original recording for the compilation "The Best Of Classical (A Lifescapes Music Collection)"
I find the title of this piece perfect. I once had a beautiful dream wich I remebered in the morning and this song express perfectly the feelings I had. The happiness of having made a dream like that destroyed by the waking, the thinking about that dream all day and night increasing the sadness mixed with a bit of resignation of accepting the fact it was just a dream...
What a great pairing of painting and music. Faure's 'After a Dream' was published in 1878, (based on a translation of an Italian poem by Romain Bussine.) The first painting you show is Monet's 'Impression: Sunrise.' This painting depicts the port of Le Havre, Monet's hometown. It was shown at the 1874 'Exhibition of the Impressionists.' So nicely done. Thank you.
I'm learning this on cello at the moment, it's an incredibly beautiful piece... And I just had a dream the other night, about a certain girl that I've lost, that fits amazingly perfectly with the poem in the comments below. Reading through it reduced me to tears and my phone's now kinda getting wet. Thank you for sharing those lyrics.
This is my favourite recording of Fauré’s aprés un rêve for cello and piano, because they capture the dreamlike quality of the song in the playing, cool and almost transparent, yet full if wistful longing and barely suppressed passion. After some research, I found the recording , I believe: it is: Lillian Rehberg Goodman, cello Harold Bogin, piano: "Cello Religioso - Cello Amoroso" 1975. the original recording for compilation The Best Of Classical (A Lifescapes Music Collection) The Best Of Classical (A Lifescapes Music Collection)
Thank you so much for the research. I agree, this is my favorite recording of and duo for the piece. I now know the poem behind it, but the interpretation here conveys the poem’s idea so well that I didn’t even need to know the poem to feel the message.
Gracias, esta bella melodía es un consuelo y disfrute para las almas solitarias, solo la música es capaz de expresar tantos y tan complejos sentimientos, llena el aire, pone color, ilumina y disipa las tinieblas, gracias. Alberto.
Oh! The music by Gabriel Faure i very liked. "Apres un reve" one of the his compositions that i very loved, especialy i watched in vocal version by Rene Fleming. But "Pavane, Op. 50" one of his compositions that i firstly listened to.
This was played at The Royal Wedding by a very very talented 19 year old and as soon as I started listening to it, it gave me a lump in my throat!!....absolutely beautiful!! I'm not really into classical music but this piece just sounds heavenly to me 🎶🎵🎶🎵
on retrouve cette ambiance melancolique douce comme un souffle suspendu dans tous les arts la peinture des impressionstes la poesie des verlaine raimbautl beaudelaire les ecrivains proust pagnol d autres et d autres j aime ce temps passes le monde etait plein d esperances
Que manera de penetrar en lo mas profundo del alma , sentidos de mundos inimaginables ,fantasías y tocar las fibras mas intimas,del ser o una ficción y quizás estados ampliados de conciencia ,hacia un encuentro con la divinidad. No si este músico es el mas o el mejor del impresionismo ,solo sus obras son de una exquisita sensibilidad .
el cuadro impresionista es (impresiones del sol.)..claude monet año 1872. revoluciono todo el arte moderno mundial . también la bella música de la belle epoque,
One of the most beautiful pieces of music on this planet

Ya took da words right outta my mouth.
That is a beautiful and perceptive comment.
Absolutely agree!
Totally agree
That funny moment when a Russian (myself) reads your comment and has their epiphany moment.

Sadness expressed with dignity.

After a dream
In a slumber enchanted by your image
I dreamt of happiness, passionate mirage,
Your eyes were softer, your voice pure and resonant,
You shone like a sky lit up by the dawn;
You called me and I left the earth
To run away with you towards the light,
The skies opened their clouds for us,
Unknown splendours, divine flashes glimpsed,
Alas! Alas! sad awakening from dreams
I call you, O night, give me back your lies,
Return, return radiant,
Return, O mysterious night!
Thanks.
Thank you! Marvellous words; I found the Italian & French (song words adapted for Fauré) texts here: www.lieder.net/lieder/get_text.html?TextId=18169
I like the English lyrics you posted, could almost sing it to the original melody.
But then I tend to pronounce some words in French.
Très émouvant, sensible ce morceau de Gabriel Fauré 😍
Dans un sommeil que charmait ton image
Je rêvais le bonheur, ardent mirage;
Tes yeux était plus doux, ta voix pure et sonore,
Tu rayonnais comme un ciel éclairé par l'aurore.
Tu m'appelais et je quittais la terre
Pour m'enfuir avec toi vers la lumière;
Les cieux pour nous, entr'ouvraient leurs nues,
Splendeurs inconnues, lueurs divines entrevues...
Hélas! Hélas, triste réveil des songes!
Je t'appelle, ô nuit, rends-moi tes mensonges;
Reviens, reviens radieuse,
Reviens, ô nuit mystérieuse !
Helas! Reviens..!!

Thanks for telling. 👍
Thank you very much !
Sublime. it takes all it can of the heart and turns it into something tender and worthy of cherishing and mourning.

Una obra que nunca te cansas de escuchar, impregnada de una melancolía dulce, serena y contenida...

One of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever played
Oh my god... the cello is so 'lush', for want of a better word! This is gorgeous.
The brilliant Fauré plus the gorgeous violincello is heaven.

And I just had a dream the other night, about a certain girl that I've lost, that fits amazingly perfectly with the poem in the comments below.

Same here.!
Oooh, I feel for you! I'm learning it as a singer and yes it really pulls at your heart strings.
チェロもピアノも深い精神性のある演奏の美しさに心がふるえました。
Great performance of a very beautiful, but melancholy piece.
Formidable...
People who disliked this don't know how to appreciate music..
Breathtakingly intense and alluring. So exquisite.. Just beautiful
The transcription from the voice to the cello is indeed successful. Great recording.
C'est une pure merveille!
After a dream we notice reality.
Oh my heart, I am so in love with this song!! I'm not even sure how it came to me, but I am so happy it found me!

Quoi de plus beau qu'un tableau de Claude Monet, pour accompagné cette superbe composition de Fauré.
Poignant pleasure! When sung by the French Caruso Georges Thill
it drifts into the realm of eternity! Thank you for posting!
Gran interpretación del cello de una de las más bellas melodías de la historia. Gracias
Ahh. Real music, what a relief!
With the views on this vid, I think I should publish more just like it.

I will never thank the Royal Wedding cellist enough for making me discover this
Incredibly touching and beautiful!
Em pleno domingo, ouvir essa música …é um bálsamo….

Another haunted, introspection by Faure...
Try this on a cool, rainy Spring day.
Today is a cool, rainy Spring day, and I'm having the best moment of my life listening to this
Today is a cool, rainy Spring day, and I'm having the worst moments of my life
Are you listening to the music? Try that! Misery loves company, as any country/western song says.
Beautiful 🖤

Belíssima interpretação desta versão da canção original.
O título correto é:
"Après un rêve"
touching !
Que manera de penetrar en lo mas profundo del alma , sentidos de mundos inimaginables ,fantasías y tocar las fibras mas intimas,del ser o una ficción y quizás estados ampliados de conciencia ,hacia un encuentro con la divinidad.
No si este músico es el mas o el mejor del impresionismo ,solo sus obras son de una exquisita sensibilidad .
Masterpiece
A sensação inexplicável ao sentir essa música é reconfortante e melancólica
Ya took da words right outta my mouth.
Esta música esta inspirada por las musas celestiales,que bajaron al corazón de GABRIEL FAURE.
