Description

Angela Hewitt?s recordings of French piano music have received the highest critical acclaim, her ?tenderness, Gallic wit, verve, and?the most important ingredient of all?charm? proving perfect for works by Chabrier, Debussy, Ravel and indeed Rameau and Couperin. Now she turns to a composer who is more serious and introspective, with a refinement that has led to him being relatively overlooked by performers. But in Angela Hewitt?s hands this music is an utter joy. This album includes the major work Th?me et variations, Op 73?one of Faure?s greatest works for piano?and a selection of Valses-caprices and Nocturnes. It ends with a more radiant piece from Faure?s youth, the earliest piece included on this recording?the Ballade pour piano seul, Op 19, dedicated to Saint-Saens.
