Hommage to Fauré
When the French composer Gabriel Fauré sat down at the piano, he distilled pure enchantment from the sounds beneath his fingers. In this ravishing, eye-opening concert the great French-Canadian pianist Louis Lortie – one of Fauré’s most admired living interpreters – pairs Fauré’s exquisite piano Préludes with the music that they inspired. Genius speaks to genius, and we all get to listen.
