About Gabriel Fauré's Nocturnes

Fauré’s Nocturnes were composed over a span of 45 years, from 1875 when the composer was 30 years old until a few years before his death at the age of 79.
They reflect the development of his very personal musical language, from the ecstatic lyricism of Fauré the Romantic, to the concentrated, highly individual expressions of the composer’s later years.
