Horvath/Reyes/Armengaud - French Impressions Boxed Set - A potpourri of French piano styles, from the Romantics to new age

The range and variety of French piano music in the 19th and 20th centuries is exemplified in these critically acclaimed albums bringing together rarely encountered pieces, a number of which are performed on period instruments. Th�odore Gouvy�s little-known sonatas and Benjamin Godard�s fragrant lyricism are part of a lineage that includes the masterful large-scale Piano Sonata of Vincent d�Indy, the virtuosic rarities � many in premi�re recordings � of Saint-Sa�ns, Satie�s tenderness and wit, and unknown piano versions of some of Debussy�s greatest orchestral masterpieces.
