The one hundred and twenty-fourth classical recording: #421 Gabriel Faure - Elegie
It's still a bit odd to listen to this dark and sombre work on one of the hottest days of the year. There's a weight to the piece that you feel deep inside you, a sombre tone that really got to me early on. It's dark and a bit depressing, but the impression sticks around and it would work incredibly well in the right setting - a dark autumn evening as the world gets darker. It's short, but packs the weight in from the start.
