From the liner notes of Chamber Music from Marlboro, Columbia Masterworks, 1961. ML 5644 (see above):
- Fauré’s song cycle is presented here in a very unusual setting for voice, piano and string quartet. The string parts may or may not be the work of the composer but they were apparently sanctioned by him, since this version was advertised on the cover of the original voice-and-piano edition. Martial Singher, who possesses the manuscript parts used in this recording (the printed edition if it ever got past the advertising stage, seems to have disappeared entirely), calls attention to the idiomatic use of strings without piano in the first song, suggesting that this song at least was first conceived by Fauré for voice and quartet and that the more familiar piano accompaniment is a later arrangement.
