D'Indy - Marguerite Long Plays (CD) - CD

Details: Undoubtedly the foremost French female pianist of the 20th century, Marguerite Long (1874-1966) prided herself on her personal friendships with some of the foremost composers of her day - Debussy, Fauré and Ravel. She championed their works, premiering, amongst other things, Ravel's G major piano concerto, and was to write books on the interpretation of each of them. This addition to our continuing French Piano School series is the first of two APR volumes, together containing her complete recordings of French repertoire, and of honorary Frenchman, Chopin.
