Instead of ordering the nocturnes chronologically, Stefan Irmer has deliberately juxtaposed pieces from the romantic works of the Paris salons and late works, already clearly verging on the limits of tonality. The result is a colourful and varied programme featuring works from fifty full years of Fauré’s life. These pieces allow Irmer to demonstrate his flawless and sparkling technique. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Roy Howat (piano) with Emily Kilpatrick (piano) 2CDs for price of 1 This exquisite collection benefits from Roy Howat’s dedicated scholarship and performance of French music and with duo partner Emily Kilpatrick illuminates Fauré’s piano music, beautifully portraying the elegance and lyricism that was the Belle Epoque. Includes three world premieres. “Stripping away the precious aura of roses and incense...Howat notes the composer's preference for strict tempos, many of which are brisker here than usual...An original concept album, then, that wears its erudition lightly; one that I will return to with great enjoyment many times.” BBC Music Magazine, April 2010 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Gabriel Fauré's set of thirteen Nocturnes for solo piano contain some of the most beautiful and original pieces that the composer created. Their composition over half a century (1870 - 1921) charts the development
of a highly personal voice beginning with the Chopinesque early works and
culminating in the passionate outpourings of the final masterpieces. “Charles Owen is an affectionate and unassuming guide, disinclined to impose himself on music whose subtlety is easily destroyed by over-emphasis.” Gramophone Magazine, August 2008 “Owen is obviously completely at home in these sometimes elusive works and he plays them beautifully, with subtle feeling for their colour. He is very well recorded.” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

| |  | Fauré - Cello Sonatas Nos. 1 & 2
The Cello Sonata No. 1 in D minor, Op. 109 is a fascinating and unsettling product of those dark days of the First World War. Fauré’s youngest son was in the army and it is not hard to hear something of his father’s anxiety in the sonata. The Cello Sonata No. 2 in G minor, Op. 117 was written between March and November 1921 and this happier time is reflected in more contented music. Fauré’s friend Vincent d’Indy, spoke for many when he complimented his fellow composer on the sheer ‘youthfulness’ of this music: ‘plus the mastery of maturity. And it’s so beautiful!’ These works are here joined by Nocturne No. 13 in B minor, Op. 119, completed after the death of Fauré’s closest friend, Camille Saint-Saëns. It was Fauré’s last solo piano work and completed the second of two great work cycles, the Barcarolles and Nocturnes, which between them chart the course of Fauré’s composing life and contain some of the composer’s most intimate thoughts. The Thirteenth Nocturne is as well the summation of the two sets. ‘Its grip is so powerful’, wrote the great French pianist Yvonne Lefébure, ‘that there is no place for rational explanation…, it is the only example of a work in which not a single note could be changed or removed’. Completing the disc is the Piano Trio in D minor, Op. 120, which despite its moments of drama unfolds with an easy-flowing serenity. “Christian Poltéra… phrases sensitively and makes the most of the composer's dynamic markings… Kathryn Stott is an ideal partner, managing her pedalling levels to produce a variety of textures...reinforc[ing] her position as one of the finest Fauré interpreters of her generation”” BBC Music Magazine, March 2008 **** | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
