Armande de Polignac: Piano Works

Armande de Polignac was one of an unprecedented number of female composers emerging at the beginning of the 20th century. With training from the likes of Gabriel Fauré and Vincent d'Indy, she was able to devote her life to music at the highest level of professionality. From the introspective early Préludes via the luxuriant, Russian-infused Échappées to the remarkable sonic realism of Cloches, these recordings reveal Armande de Polignac as one of the greatest French female composers of her time.
