Ernest Chausson (January 20, 1855 – June 10, 1899) was a French composer. Read Full Bio ↴Ernest Chausson (January 20, 1855 – June 10, 1899) was a French composer.
His work is commonly divided into three periods, the first of which is dominated by Massenet and exhibits fluid and elegant melodies. The second period dating from 1886 is marked by a more dramatic character, benefitting by his contacts with the artistic milieux in which he moved. The third period dates from his father's death in 1894 and was influenced by his reading of the symbolist poets and Russian literature, particularly Turgenev, Dostoyevsky, and Tolstoy.
His work shows the influence of Massenet, Franck, Richard Wagner, and Johannes Brahms. His compositional style bridges the gap between Massenet and Franck and the later generation of French composers such as Claude Debussy.
He is primarily noted for his many songs; his orchestral output was comparatively small. Surviving works include a Symphony in B flat major, Poème for violin and orchestra (an important piece in the violin repertoire) and Poème de l'amour et de la mer for voice and orchestra.

Le temps des lilas
Le temps des lilas et le temps des roses
Ne reviendra plus à ce printemps-ci;
Le temps des lilas et le temps des roses
Est passé, le temps des œillets aussi.
Le vent a changé, les cieux sont moroses,
Et nous n’irons plus courir, et cueillir
Les lilas en fleur et les belles roses;
Le printemps est triste et ne peut fleurir.
Oh! joyeux et doux printemps de l’année,
Qui vins, l’an passé, nous ensoleiller,
Notre fleur d’amour est si bien fanée,
Las! Que ton baiser ne peut l’éveiller!
Et toi, que fais-tu? pas de fleurs écloses,
Point de gai soleil ni d’ombrages frais;
Le temps des lilas et le temps des roses
Avec notre amour est mort à jamais.

Thanks for posting. Beautiful performance of a beautiful song. I do wish the pianist had been a little less self-effacing in the agitated middle section. It's not as if a voice like Schäfer's was in any danger of being swamped.😆 French seems devilishly difficult for non-natives to sing. That certainly wasn't "tu" that she sang at 3:08.

Wunderschöne und lyrische Interpretation dieser spätromantischen und poetisch komponierten Lieds im gut betrachteten Tempo mit durchsichtiger doch herrlicher Stimme der genialen Sopranistin und zurückgehaltenem doch klarem Klang des ebenso genialen Pianisten. Einfach wundervoll!
