- Fred Flaxman
Did Gabriel Faure have any idea how to play his own "Barcarolle No. 1 in A Minor"? This gem is followed by the composer's "Elegie for Cello and Orchestra," "Pavane" and his "Sonata in A for Violin and Piano." The program's title refers not to the composer's music, but to his love life.

Review of Faure's Fiascoes
Looking around for something to listen to for my own pleasure, to take a break Excellent choice, Madame. (And what wine should I have with this?) I knew little about Faure, had a taste for knowing more - this satisfied that desire. I really enjoyed the music and the info delivered with it in the host's capable but youthful voice.
