Composers
Fauré, Gabriel Urbain (1845-1924)

The 13 Barcarolles of Fauré, composed over the course of almost four decades
(1882-1921), are highly representative of his piano oeuvre and are considered
his most characteristic works. They reflect his separation from the romantic
idiom of Chopin and Mendelssohn, in particular, and his progress towards an
independent musical language in which he achieved a successful harmonious
reconciliation between tradition and the modernism that was emerging at the
time. Michael Endres recorded these pieces for Oehms Classics at WDR in Cologne
in May 2017.
