Music by Ravel, Fauré and Franck. Readings from Proust and Mallarmé

The link to Proust is (slightly) less than frivolous, since Faure's First Violin Sonata and Franck's String Quartet, are believed to offer possible models for the "little phrase" of the composer Vinteuil that infiltrates the consciousness of Swann in Swann's Way.
