MUSIC OF TRIBUTE Vol. 3
FAURÉ
Vladimir Valjarevic: piano
works by Fauré, Ravel, Enesco, Koechlin, Schmitt, and others
A new recording by the young Yugoslav virtuoso Vladimir Valjarevic pays homage to the great French composer, Gabriel Fauré. In 1922, seven of Fauré's pupils were commissioned to write music for an album in his honor. Among those who contributed were Maurice Ravel, Georges Enesco, Charles Koechlin and Florent Schmitt. These works of homage alternate with piano music by Fauré himself including some of his most grateful and attractive pieces which stand directly between the tradition of Couperin and Chopin and the innovations of his student Ravel and Debussy.
