Updated 2 weeks ago

With its florid Romantic gestures, languid phrasing and flowing melodies, the music of Cécile Chaminade (1857-1944) feels undeniably French. Her gift for inspired, light-hearted melodies can be heard in her songs, including Berceuse and Mignonne; while conversely, her Piano Sonata in C Minor and the evergreen classic “Automne” approach the profound drama of Liszt or Schumann. An outstanding pianist herself, Chaminade brought an impressive command of texture and rhythm to works such as Pierrette and the dazzling Toccata.
