Debussy / Naoumoff / Burleson - French Piano Music - Music CD

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. Thodore 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 premire recordings - of Saint-Sans, Satie's tenderness and wit, and unknown piano versions of some of Debussy's greatest orchestral masterpieces.
