Fauré: Piano Music

Angela Hewitt"'s recordings of French piano music have received the highest critical acclaim, her "'tenderness, Gallic wit, verve, and-the most important ingredient of all-charm"' proving perfect for works by Chabrier, Debussy, Ravel and indeed Rameau and Couperin. Now she turns to a composer who is more serious and introspective, with a refinement that has led to him being relatively overlooked by performers. But in Angela Hewitt"'s hands this music is an utter joy.
