Authentique : Intégrale de l’œuvre pour violoncelle et piano

Description

Master of the French melody, as well as of the piano and chamber music, Gabriel Fauré particularly valued the rich and versatile sound of the Érard piano. He was captivated by the richness of the harmonics and the clarity of the bass of this instrument, qualities that made it the ideal companion for French salons. This album highlights not only Fauré's musical vision but also the unique sound universe of the Érard piano, an instrument that played a crucial role in the musical landscape of the time. Marc Coppey fully embraces the fluid rhetoric of Fauré's musical language. His interpretation deliberately avoids the constant and stylistically inappropriate *espressivo* often heard elsewhere, choosing instead to deeply explore the nuances and facets of Fauré's compositions. "Fauré authentique" thus offers not only musical excellence but also a true journey into the complete works for cello and piano by the French composer, all brought to life by the magnificent sound of the Érard piano.
