‘A taste for clarity of thought, sobriety and purity of form, sincerity, [and a] disdain for grandiose effects,” that was how Gabriel Faure summed up his artistic and spiritual creed. Following the trail blazed by Chopin, he fearlessly used the boldest strokes of harmony to color his music with a highly individual charm. On this third volume in the series, French pianist Jean-Claude Pennetier continues his survey of Faure’s solo piano works with Barcarolles Nos.4-6, Nocturnes Nos.6-7, Pieces breves Op.84 and Theme & Variations Op.73.
