Debussy/ Naoumoff/ Burleson - French Piano Music

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.
