The Essential Piano Works

Description

Gabriel Fauré, a key figure in the revival of the French school at the end of the 19th century, stands out with a rich catalog. Despite his prolific contribution, including nearly seventy pieces for piano, his work remains underestimated and rarely performed today. Laurent Wagschal celebrates his legacy with a complete recording of his piano works, highlighting his masterpieces, transcriptions, and unpublished pieces. This album is a selection chosen by the artist. A specialist in French music, Laurent Wagschal records a complete collection of Fauré's piano music, of which this is a selection. His latest award-winning recordings of Vierne's music have surpassed 2 million streams. "A singular pianist, imbued with remarkable charisma" (Le Monde)
