  • Description

    Peter Vanhove presents an album of often overlooked works by Gounod, Alkan, Faure, Bizet and de Severac.

    The thread running through this exploration is the search for a typically French style, of which Gounod is not only an outstanding example, but also – undoubtedly – the pioneer. A wonderful journey through the Parisian salons in the company of Gounod, Alkan, Faure, Bizet and Deodat de Severac.

    "The combination of his refreshing approach and magnificent technique makes this recording utterly remarkable. One has no hesitation in speaking of a revelation..., our first acquaintance with this young musician is a genuine discovery" (M&W)

    "4* for Performance and 4* for Sound" (BBC Music Magazine)

    "…Delightful performances. Try the harmonic twists of Bizet's Chanson d'avril and be bewitched. Revelatory" – International Piano
