Keep Germaine Thyssens Valentin

I tried her recording on the Testament label. I didn’t care for it. It was overly precious to me ears — too refined. The image that came to mind while listening to it was one a a finely fussed over French Poodle being walked by a delicate French lady with a parasol. Faure is better than that. Chacun a son gout.

Suits the music to a T.

It does if you believe Faure’s piano music is prissy.

Prissy (def.) - prom and proper

Faure provokes many images, and parasols and poodles are closer than gilded spittoons.

I agree -- all of Crossley's Faure is worthy. He's especially valuable in the fascinating and forbidding later Nocturnes. (Yvonne Lefebure, in the few she did, may be even stronger.) Also agree with ctimb above that Heidsieck's Barcarolles are not up to his excellent Nocturnes. Collard is, I think, at his least convincing in the Nocturnes. Many other worthy Faure performances in his set, among them the Barcarolles. T-V I find disappointing but so far haven't culled. I prefer the super-romantic Emma Boynet. Like the canonical Albert Ferber, Boynet recorded maybe 40% of the piano works. No official CD releases.

There is something in Crossley's Faure that I find rather irritating. Perhaps my loss. I want to ask Prof Timbrell his opinion of Jean Hubeau's integrale and Lonquich's Impromptus. It seems that the only Barcarolles I have is Hubeau's.

And for other commentators: I think it is a mistake to think of Faure as in any way effeminate.

Thanks to all - this is a good thread.

I am not the professor, but am very partial to the Hubeau set. As you know, it is exceedingly dry, much dryer than Heidsieck's playing, but that's not altogether bad in Faure. Better that than the opposite. He's intelligent.

Marguerite Long btw (who for some is synonymous with dry/sec) is indispensable.

From a 2008 post by DK on Thyssens Valentin's Faure: "Very small scale and prissy. It stinks."

What happened between then and now?

BTW, I agree with DK's earlier assessment of TV's Faure, minus the "it stinks."

I remember her recordings on Vox boxes very fondly. Have they ever appeared on CD? There is a very gentil WTC by her On CD. I will revisit it.

Thyssens-Valentin studied with Faure
and the latter apparently stated she
and understood and performed his music
better than anyone else. Who am I to
disagree?


Well, if that is true, the “better than anyone else” would mean anyone else before 1924 - the year he died.
All the preferred versions mentioned here are recorded after 1950 - the bulk being much later. It’s not a question of agreeing or disagreeing, but Of widening one’s views.

Whatever interpretation gives one the deepest pleasure and fulfillment is the best IMO.

For Crochet on CD, try http://evelynecrochet.com/purchase.html. Some patience and persistence may be required, but eventually they'll come through. Note, however, that her Fauré was transferred from LPs, which is a mixed blessing. I'm excited by MO-T's report that his transfers of Boynet will be available soon. I have only one beat-up copy of her recording of six Barcarolles and a few additional works. I don't know that I would characterize her as "super-romantic." There is a certain amount of freedom, to be sure, but no loss of lucidity and poise. However you describe the performances, they sound terrific to me.

I've never warmed to Hubeau's solo Fauré, but do recommend the Apex reissue of his recordings of the Piano Quartets and Quintets with the Via Nova Quartet and other artists including the great Navarra.

As Alan says, this is really good news, MO-T. Thanks for letting us know! I've just been listening to her Nocturne #4 on YouTube, where it's mis-labeled as #3. "Super-romantic" isn't quite accurate for this, as my friend suggests. On the other hand, it's the antithesis of dry, and in this case that's a very good thing.

Never heard of this pianist. The well-spring of classical music is seemingly bottomless and full of riches. Looking forward to this set. Still listening to the Casadesus set on APR from 2019, The Complete French Columbia Recordings, 1928-1939. Arrived in January and it is seldom far from the CD player.

I still don't understand DK's allergy to Collard in these works.

On that Nocturne No. 4 on You Tube, Boynet sounds like her fingers are sticking to the keys, as though she's playing on a very warm day a piano made of caramel.

It means that I hear a lack of articulation, as though when Boyant's fingers touch the keys they unduly linger there -- stuck, as it were, to a sticky surface.

Between her and V-T? They're so different it would be hard for me to decide. Perhaps M O-T's remastering will alter some of Boyant's "stickiness." In any case, I'll take Albert Ferber.

I agree Steve, Ferber’s Faure is great, his Debussy disappointing, although part of the let down is in the mediocre engineering of the recordings.

Hearing the Eloquence collection, again, I found nothing special there, but Ferber fans should check it out.

I have about 20 LPs of stuff never released on CD, that I
have intended to transfer myself. I never seem to get
around to it. I have the equipment and software but not the

in a long time to see of any of that has since become

My enthusiasm for transferring LPs has waned, and further stalled by needing to update applications for OS compatibility. Note though that the Ferber Faure, both volumes, have in fact appeared on CD. Catalog number for what the CDs call "Volume One" is EC 3398-2, release apparently 1993.

The complete Faure by Katherine Stott on Hyperion.

Not for those who like dry, fastidious, pearly, delicate playing - rather a beautiful acoustic, fuller toned and widely nuanced.

An excellent article, also about Crochet's interpretations. Her playing is fragile in a way that is difficult to describe. The same is true of her Bach. This may be due to the clarity of her playing, but also to the fact that she does not present us with a finished product, but gives the impression that she is trying to find her way in the music.

Agreed Crochet’s Faure is fantastic! Unfortunately those transfers that are available are very poor dubs from lps. I’ve gotten much better results from my copies, but that’s not ideal either. What a shame that nobody has done a reissue from the original tapes. I wonder if they still are in existence. Does anyone know who is the custodian of the Vox masters these days?

The Faure transfer on Spotify is horrid! I wonder about the provenance
of the cds from her website. The discography identifies Vox but it's not
clear what that means about the actual product for sale.

I e-mailed an order to her website last week and have not heard back. The WTC CD (same cover as on her web site, so I'm guessing the same transfer) is available at Amazon.

The WTC set I ordered from Amazon came today and is a Music & Arts release.

That one sounds okay on Spotify. Thanks for the report.

I see that Discogs shows a "near mint" copy of the Faueé Vox vol. 1 and a "like new" copy of vol. 2. Someone should buy these, transfer them and make them available to all of us. This assume the Vox LPs actually sounded pretty good in the first place.

And much appreciated by me at least.
