Fauré: Nocturnes & Barcarolles
Marc-André Hamelin (piano)
CDA68331/2
The Nocturnes and Barcarolles demonstrate Fauré’s art at its most personal, progressing from early lyricism to the elusive, rarefied style of the later works. Marc-André Hamelin’s performances are predictably fine, and combine exceptional subtlety with magisterial keyboard authority.
