Piano Street Magazine:
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

What am I to say about these almost painfully evocative glimpses into astigmatic worlds ? On the whole, I think the less said the better. Your playing speaks of something much deeper than its musical self. I could allude to Sung painting and what Huxley called “suchness”, as indeed I have done before, but I doubt it is helpful. Such language presupposes existing acquaintance with visionary landscapes of the mind, and hardly anybody stands still for long enough these days to know what they are.

On the practical side, I might profitably learn from your playing that power in music is not necessarily attained through an hour of frenetically symphonic deluge. That observation could serve me well.

Sapphire and Nocturne I found particularly transporting.
