Nocturne / Suite in G / Chanson a Ma Poupee

- A pupil of Dukas and a lifelong friend of Ravel, the composer, pianist and critic Gustave Samazeuilh was a central figure in Parisian musical life over many decades. His skill as a pianist can be heard in themajestic colors and intense virtuosity of Le Chant de la mer (The song of the sea). From the Classical discipline of the Suite en sol (Suite in G) to the later Nocturne (the composer's transcription of hissymphonic poem Nuit), and Quatre Esquisses (Four Sketches), Samazeuilh's voice emerges as one of remarkable originality and superb musical realization.
