The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

I feel the background adds context to the music in this case. It is lived music, and I can imagine Parisian streets immersed in both day to day life as well as the artistic life that surrounded it.

The second piece I found very direct in its character, darkly beautiful.
