The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street
In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

I thought I'd draw your attention to this site:
https://www.ravinia.org/onescore/2006/english/content_download.html

where you can listen to some of his wonderful Schumann recordings.

a horrible cheat but I'll just copy paste what I posted on another forum:

The musical conversation 'interview' audio only in 2 parts:

https://www.sendspace.com/file/kqlaik
https://www.sendspace.com/file/p4xfnd

around 40 mins in length, he plays bits and pieces including his own transcriptions of film music and old jazz songs, bits of Rach (2nd symphony, rach 2, pag rapz, rach 4), brahms 1st, Gershwin, Chopin military polonaise ( a la paderewski).

If you've seen the fats waller vid on youtube this is the interview from which it came. I just extracted the audio from the vid.

Enjoy!

fiorentino's bach-busoni chaconne. It is at least as good as michelangeli imo.
