About "Le papillon et la fleur, Op. 1, No. 1" by The King's Singers
The King's Singers float Fauré's 'Le papillon et la fleur' on a breath of French Romanticism. The butterfly and flower of the title become voices in delicate counterpoint—fragile, fleeting, achingly polite. Beneath the surface elegance, a quiet tragedy: beauty that knows it cannot last.
