Evelyne Crochet - Faure Complete Piano Music Vol I

Review by Matthias Nill

The album Faure Complete Piano Music Vol I by Evelyne Crochet is a beautiful collection of works by the French composer Gabriel Faure. Crochet's elegant and sensitive playing brings out the delicate nuances of Faure's music, highlighting the composer's unique blend of Romantic and Impressionistic styles.

The album features a wide range of Faure's piano works, from the early Nocturnes and Barcarolles to the later Impromptus and Preludes. Crochet's interpretation of these pieces is both technically precise and emotionally expressive, capturing the essence of Faure's musical language.

Listeners will be particularly impressed by Crochet's rendering of Faure's famous Pavane, which is given a haunting and ethereal quality under her fingers. Other notable tracks include the passionate and dramatic Ballade, Op. 19 and the tender and introspective Nocturne No. 4, Op. 36.

Summary by Matthias Nill
