Description:

The long-awaited collection of Tailleferre: Piano Works for lovers of French modern music! The long-awaited collection of Tailleferre's piano works for lovers of French modern music. French composer Germaine Tailleferre (1892-1983) is famous as one of the French sextet and has many CDs, but she is also often treated as a female composer. In fact, Tailleferre is a first-rate composer without being lumped in at all. There have not been many CDs devoted exclusively to her piano works, so this new recording is a welcome addition. The CD contains Tailleferre's piano works in chronological order, and one can clearly hear the transition in style from the Belle Epoque flavor of her youth, to the neoclassical style of the 1930s, to the quieter, slightly more modern style of the 1950s and beyond. She continued to write fascinating works well into the 1970s without withering away. Quynh Nguyen's piano is also excellent. She is an American of Vietnamese descent. His delicate, clear, and moist tone enhances the beauty of Tailleferre's music. Tobu Shoji Co.
