Alain Planès, piano

"We have just heard something extraordinary: music that connects our time with that of Couperin and Rameau." (César Franck, after the first performance of the Dix Pièces Pittoresques at the Société Nationale de Musique)

Chabrier actively participated in the musical revival at the end of the century without, however, frequenting either the "bande de Franck" or even the Conservatoire. And his marvellous piano music bears striking evidence of his independence.
