Herbillon bring enchantment to his discreet and difficult repertoire. The shimmering, caressing performances of Paraskivesco gives the baritone ideal support. The vocalist’s diction is impeccable and his singing serene, without the affectedness and artificiality one so often hears in these pieces. A version that is perfectly in keeping with the world of Fauré.
