About

The range and variety of French piano music in the 19th and 20th centuries is exemplified in these critically acclaimed albums bringing together rarely encountered pieces, a number of which are performed on period instruments. Théodore Gouvy’s little-known sonatas and Benjamin Godard’s fragrant lyricism are part of a lineage that includes the masterful large-scale Piano Sonata of Vincent d’Indy, the virtuosic rarities – many in première recordings – of Saint-Saëns, Satie’s tenderness and wit, and unknown piano versions of some of Debussy’s greatest orchestral masterpieces.

‘Harmonious and also with unsuspected dramatic power.’ – Piano News (Gouvy)

‘Burleson’s...unearthed some true gems of the literature...’ – Fanfare (Saint-Saëns)

‘A passionate journey through the work of Claude Debussy.’ – Inactuelles, musiques singulières

‘I find this new set to be essential... this is such a good realization of Orledge’s efforts.’ – American Record Guide (Satie)
