Hanley plays the vocal lines of two of Fauré's most well-known mélodies:

Après un rêve ('After a dream') is a setting of a poem by Romaine Bussine.

Mandoline is a setting of a poem by Paul Verlaine inspired by a painting by Watteau in which commedia dell'arte characters dance to the accompaniment of a mandolin.
