Question Bridesheads fans who are classical music experts

I've been listening to the Elegie and other Faure cello sonatas on my Napster/Rhapsody account, and enjoying them greatly. I'm convinced that one of the great musical divides is between those who like the somberness of music in a minor key, and those who don't. This divide spans genres, so that someone might like "folk" music generally, but shy away from or gravitate toward songs or tunes dependent on a minor chord or two.

I'm one of those people who likes the somberness. So it was nice to be able to hear the whole thing, and to hear it played well. There's a nice vid of Julian Lloyd Webber playing it on Youtube, but also some online performances in the Orme-Herrick vein (not terrible, but still somewhat off). I suspect that this is a piece which is easy to get wrong, since it seems so dependent on pacing. I also suspect it stands, for Charles, as a return to the bleak tastes of his family's "set," compared to the Baroque splendors that the Flytes introduced him to.

But I'm pretty ignorant where classical music is concerned -- didn't even known the name Faure until your posts. But I am particularly fond of cello music, and so very much appreciate your help in finding Faure, and think that Miss Orme-Herrick was unfairly libeled. Her version of this song may not be the ideal performance, but it is much less dreadful than Charles's awful South American paintings that the TV series had on display. I always laugh when I watch that scene, and imagine the film's art director having fun creating that set. Antoine's "well-reasoned abuse" in that scene is one of the best bits in the series, I think, and so I would tell Charles that people in glass houses . . . .
