Faure's friend and former teacher Camille Saint-Saëns wrote to him in 1917: "Ah! if there is a god for the left hand, I should very much like to know him and make him an offering when I am disposed to play your music; the 2nd Valse-Caprice is terrible in this respect; I have however managed to get to the end of it by dint of absolute determination."
Having come to Faure's music at the age of 58 and only having known a handful of his music prior to this I have to say that I am totally captivated by his music and his manner of writing. Before I started to investigate his music and perform a series of interpretations with just piano and violin I had always found his music slightly difficult to listen to. Maybe it was because I was younger or just didn't give enough time to it, but how I missed out! His music is for music's sake and purely from the heart. Don't miss out on a wonderful experience. Open your ears, heart and mind and you will discover another world.
true, i have a deep love and respect for Fauré ! I especially love his choral work (requiem, quantique de jean racine), i find it to have both an ancient sonority, but mixed with impressionist modern composition technics (such as Ravel) which completely enchants me
It took me many listens through the nocturnes and barcarolles to fully appreciate them, especially the later ones. Once his music took hold of me though I became obsessed with it, it's incredibly musically satisfying.
Fauré music is not known as we could desire, thanks for this recordings. And, of course, like it happens with all composers, interpreters always do their own version of the work. Sometimes, they play it in a different form later, winthout repeating, as we see and consider the same landscape in a different form every day. Any work can come to life in hundreds of different manifestations, as much as persons can played them again and again. We, as composers also do it in a different way every time: There is no absolute, closed, definitive forms for anything: everything changes around the music, so the music changes, and makes the surroundings change. Reality is like that. Please enjoy, do not suffer.
Thank you. Mr C. I am really enjoying Faure now. Perhaps it's because I am MUCH older. I'm learning far more about the piano repertoire from CZcams than I ever had the opportunity to at Conservatorium in my rash youth. I remember Lance Dossor, my brilliant UK piano teacher back in the '50s, telling me I needed to go and live a lot more to "hear" Beethoven and one or two lesser mortals. Tip for young performers that. He was so very right. Cathy
Catherine, I made the same experience. When looking back at my time at the conservatory I realize now how little I knew back then about the piano repertoire in general. For example Faure. I know his well known works of course, but I didn´t know these quite charming piano pieces. And that goes for a lot of composers and pieces.

It was overwhelmed by the performance of tremendous force . Everyday troubles and suffering blew away . 🍎 From effulgent Tokyo in profound Japan in winter Which national are you watching this video ？

コラールの演奏でフォーレが聴けるのは、ありがたいですね🎵
しかもワルツカプリスのリズム感、抜群に楽しい✨
У Faure богатый музыкальный язык . Спасибо за запись .
It was overwhelmed by the performance of tremendous force .
Everyday troubles and suffering blew away . 🍎
From effulgent Tokyo in profound Japan in winter
Which national are you watching this video ？
Thank you, great music !
I can see Ravel's La Valse in the first piece
Melodia maravilhosa.
The first (Opus 30) is my favorite
very beautiful pieces! I love it ^^
The first one reminds me of Schumann.
faure has a lot of charm.. really.. not played enough
After 17:00 it sounds like Chopin and Scriabin
More Scriabin than Chopin
確かにスクリャービン寄りだね
