Faure and Poulenc
Episode 2 of 4
Simon Russell Beale travels through France to explore the story behind Faure's Requiem and discovers how it laid the foundations for a distinctively French style.
Simon Russell Beale travels through the urban and rural landscapes of France to explore the story behind Faure's Requiem, one of the best-loved pieces of sacred music ever written.
With Harry Christophers and The Sixteen, he goes on to discover how this work laid the foundations for a distinctively French style, a tradition continued by the compelling music of the outrageously fashionable Francis Poulenc, working in the heart of jazz-age Paris.
