L'Invitation au Voyage or La Vie Anterieure by Duparc would have to top my
list. I never can decide which one I like better, although La Vie Anterieure
usually edges in first. Then, of course, there's Phidyle. (sigh) I don't
think anyone else ever combined words, a vocal line and an accompaniment as
brilliantly as did Duparc at his best. It's such a shame that he destroyed
so much of his music.
