Info for Fauré: Ballade, 3 nocturnes, Pelleas et Melissandre, Penelope & Fantaisie

Gabriel Fauré: Master of overwhelming lyricism Fauré fascinates with his vigor, his inexhaustible energy, his radiance, the crystalline arabesques of his piano music. This aristocrat of phrasing, this lover of poetry blazed a trail free of all dogma, on which French pianist Philippe Cassard now embark with fervor.

Philippe Cassard et l’Orchestre national de Lorraine sous la direction de Jacques Mercier balaient les objections de ceux qui continuent de sous-estimer Gabriel Fauré. Cet aristocrate du phrasé, ce lyrique éperdu, cet amoureux de poésie aura tracé un sillon affranchi des dogmes, que les interprètes du monde entier empruntent désormais avec ferveur.
