About

The Nocturnes and Barcarolles demonstrate Faure's art at its most personal, progressing from early lyricism to the elusive, rarefied style of the later works. Marc-André Hamelin's performances are predictably fine, and combine exceptional subtlety with magisterial keyboard authority.

CLAUDE DEBUSSY - Image & Preludes II (CDA67920)

"The poetic sheen and finish of all these performances are things to marvel at, leaving me to long for more Debussy, to say nothing of Faure and Ravel, from an artist supremely attuned to the French repertoire"

- Gramophone Magazine

Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

November 2023

Hamelin’s superb technique and no doubt many hours of careful thought pay dividends, magisterially impressing on us the power and beauty of this music, which traces a path that no composer after Fauré chose, or perhaps dared, to tread.

October 2023

Hearing Hamelin play Fauré is like observing the workings of a luxury-brand wristwatch with its many interdependent and intricately connected parts working in perfect harmony to produce the movement you see on the clockface.

December 2023

Hamelin’s traversal of his nocturnes and barcarolles, 13 of each, delves deep into their extraordinary mix of sensual beauty and sophisticated reinvention of harmonic language.
