French Impressions Coffret

Description

The variety of French piano music from the 19th and 20th centuries is amplified by these highly successful albums that gather rare pieces, some of which are performed on period instruments. The lesser-known Sonatas by Théodore Gouvy and the delightful lyricism of Benjamin Godard are part of a lineage that also includes the masterful Piano Sonata by Vincent d'Indy, the virtuosic rarities of Saint-Saëns, many of which are world premieres, the tenderness and spirit of Satie, and unknown piano versions of some of the greatest orchestral masterpieces by Debussy.
