  • Summary

    Upon learning of Gabriel Fauré’s death, his patron Leo Frank Schuster (1852–1927) raced across the Channel to attend the grandiose state funeral in Paris. The reason for this hectic journey was twofold: Schuster sought to mourn a departed friend, but he also hoped to hear Fauré’s Messe de Requiem, Op. 48, which was being sung for the occasion. As the Requiem had not yet been performed in Great Britain – it would not be heard there until 1936 – Schuster did not want to miss this opportunity.
