Music reviews of Fauré: Piano Music completeMusic Review: Aristocratic refinement ! Rating: 5 Stars
How many composers over all those years really deserve to be described as aristocrats in the most extensive sense of the term?. Mozart, Chopin, Debussy, Ravel, Mendelssohn...
But Faure has to be included in this reduced; nor would he be the least in importance of that select group.
The harmonic richness of his works, the enchanting musicianship, the serene lyricism and the enraptured spirit that nourish every one of his pieces is something worthy to mention.
His musical canvas literally hovered an empty place into the French music. Berlioz was the supreme master of great orchestral masses, the widest known composer around the world and the epitome of the Symphonic Poem, on the other hand the arrival of the Belle Epoque enhanced mostly the great stages and Camille Saint Saens erected as the next promise of the Symphonic genre as well as the renovated genre of the Piano Concerto.
But the void in what concerns to the chamber music genre was more than evident. French could not boast of an intimate composer a la Chopin, for instance, capable to reflect the spiritual essence of its age.
Faure took that coveted place and knew to preserve it until his death in 1924. He knew to stand aloof of the new tendencies and his artistic integrity had not parallel by then.
The relevance of his music was kept in mind thanks basically to Emma Boynet,Jeanne Marie Darre and specially Yehudi Menuhin who always worried by playing every time he could his almost unknown chamber repertoire. After the sixties with the arrival of pianists like Gabriel Tachino, Bruno Rigutto, Jean Philippe Collard, Grant Johansson and Aldo Ciccolini who played with febrile insistence many of his frequently neglected works.
For me, it's absolutely understandable the reason why this composer is not more performed while many others (whose names I rather to keep in silence for not hurting sensibilities) are surprisingly much more diffused and regarded.
In any case, if you love the piano music, come and get close to Gabriel Faure's universe. You'll be amazed.
