Description:

Marc-André Amrand New Recording! Fauré's Nocturnes & Boat Songs! Marc-André Amrand, one of the greatest super virtuoso pianists of our time, will be the newest member of Hyperion's September 2023 Record of the Month with the complete Nocturnes & Boatsongs by Fauré! . His early works were often intimate and romantic, and as he grew older, his music became more complex, both harmonically and melodically. Both of these works have many fans, but his later works in particular are considered masterpieces. This album contains all of Fauré's representative works, Nocturnes and Boat Songs (13 pieces each), which allow us to feel the transition of Fauré's style. Amlan's outstanding delicacy and magical touch on the keyboard beautifully convey the essence of Fauré's mastery of the art. The coupling of "Dolly," a masterpiece of tenderness and affection, with his beloved partner Kathy Fuller, producer and host of WCRB (Boston's classical radio station), is also a highlight of the album.
