 | Fauré - Mélodies / Souzay · Ameling · Baldwin by Gabriel Fauré
Buy new: $39.49 / Used from: $30.99 Faure late songs are deeply profound creations. In particular Op. 106 Le jardin clos & Op. 95 La Chanson d'Ève. This 4 disc set is the best complete release.
|
 | Fauré: Chamber Music (Box Set)
Buy used from: $24.24 Faure's chamber music is the greatest since Brahms imo. The late pieces - deeply introverted creations, which are early 20th century stretch tonality & time to the limits in a unique way.

![Fauré: Piano Music complete [Box Set]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51VD90QCMWL._SL75_.jpg) | Fauré: Piano Music complete [Box Set]
Buy new: $18.99 / Used from: $18.26 A lot to recommend with Faure's Piano Music, my favorite are the last 3 nocturnes, in particular #13. Incredible piece that has the ability to reduce me to tears when I hear it. If you can find it, get the Jean Doyen complete 4 disc set over this - it's vastly superior.

 | Arnold Schoenberg: Die Jakobsleiter; Chamber Symphony No. 1; Begleitmusik Zu Einer Lichtspielszene
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $3.00 People are often put off by the characteristic intensity of Arnie's polyphony but the Chamber Symphony No. 1 is an example of it that works so well.
|
 | Arnold Schoenberg: Serenade/Five Pieces For Orchestra
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $5.00 Five Pieces for Orchestra. My fave is the 3rd - "Farben", Mässig. ("Summer Morning by a Lake: Chord-Colors") it's hard not to appreciate the harmonic depth of this amazing gem.
