Thank you :) www.patreon.com/cmrr The 13 Nocturnes constitute the first major cycle of Fauré's work. They cover most of his output, from 1882 to 1921. They are only occasionally related to the characteristic form of Field's or Chopin's Nocturnes (ornate singing over an accompaniment of arpeggios), but they are imbued with the same quiet, sorrowful evening poetry. Éric Heidsieck, very young at the time of this recording, imposed himself by a kind of instinct in these magnificent poems that are the nocturnes of Fauré. The French school has spoiled us with a number of first-rate performers, but it is without doubt Eric Heidsieck who best conveys the dreamy and poetic aspect of these nocturnes. It is a very personal interpretation and it works wonderfully.

This is an extraordinary pianist -Erick Heidsieck plays these pieces brilliantly.

[@michaelfinucan8605]

Faure, to me, embodies the light touch of the piano which is reminiscent of my mothers touch when playing, when I was a child. I say this to just try speak to those who find difficulty or hardship, as the music brings a feeling of diversion in chaos, which is a form of bringing back order and direction, something which chaos cannot endure.

[@scottmateodavies6591]

Cette musicalité douce prête à la rêverie, au lâcher prise... ces merveilleux compositeurs nous laissent ces plaisirs pianistiques qui nous aident à surfer sur le marasme délétère ambiant...

Amen!! Thank you for waking us once again to see an marvelous day, another week, another blessing, other gift, other lesson, and teaching. This morning Lord order our steps. Let thy will be done.

There is nothing Father you cannot do; because you are the Father of everything that we need and want. Thank you Lord for all that you have done and for what you continue to do in our lives. Help us Lord were we may lack, come up short, and where we may not understand.

[@michellemaire1336]

Très vrai! L'interprétation d'Eric Heidsieck est, pour moi, la plus "exacte", la plus prégnante et révélatrice du sens profond de ces magnifiques et émouvants nocturnes de Fauré.

[@alainspiteri502]

@@michellemaire1336 Très grande différence entre jouer , comme le font les pianistes , et transmettre l'âme du Compositeur ; si les Nocturnes de Chopin sont difficiles pour aller au delà du clavier il en est tout autre de G Faure c'est le compositeur parmis les plus difficiles à rendre et paradoxalement les Grands Faureens ont du mal à trouver leur Public : Marguerite Long bien sur a sa Notoriété mais peut être aussi parce qu'elle a été une proche de Ravel , l'idéal Faure c'est bien sur Marguerite Long . j'ai connu E Hiedsrk par Beethoven et les sonates ds les années 70' , l'œuvre de Faure pour le piano est immense et j'avoue ne pas pouvoir porter un jugement sur seulement quelques morceaux , intéressant toujours d'écouter des pianistes du passé, on a qq fois des surprises surprenantes , ce que je ferai avec Hiedsek .

[@michellemaire1336]

Je viens encore d'écouter les 13 nocturnes de Fauré par une vingtaine d'interprètes actuels et d'antant (de haute réputation souvent bien méritée), mais je reviens toujours à ceux interprétés par Eric Heidsieck, qui, à mon sens, traduisent de la façon la plus fidèle et la plus expressive, l'âme et l'intention profondes du compositeur. Pour moi, le tempo appliqué est chaque fois celui qui convient, et que Fauré devait souhaite. Les nuances, du pianissimo au forte le plus intense, sont judicieusement appliquées. Les ralentis et accélérés sont toujours bien situés et sans exagération. Le sentiment y est tellement émouvant. La ligne mélodique, parfois si discrète et difficile à rendre de façon appropriée chez Fauré, se ressent parfaitement dans une clarté admirablement distillée. Et puis, "cerise sur le gâteau", pas une seule note de musique, interprétée par Eric Heidsieck, n'est étrangère à la partition de Fauré (ce qui n'est pas toujours le cas chez d'autres interprètes). Bref, je ne me lasse pas d'écouter et de me référer à ce trésor d'interprétation des 13 nocturnes de Fauré par l'interprète de référence plus que supérieure qu'est l'excellent Eric Heidsieck. Personne d'autre n'est encore arrivé à rendre ces belles pages de musique fauréenne aussi justement et intensément que lui, à mon humble avis bien sûr!

[@rickartdefoix1298]

Eric Le Sage et Paul Crossley sont aussi des remarquables interprètes de ces Nocturnes. C'est la première fois que j'écoute Heidsieck et j'aime bien son travail, mais je tiens également à Crossley et Le Sage. Tant que je n'hésite pas à vous le recommander. Après les avoir écouté, à vous de choisir. 🎵🎶🆗👍🙏

[@Celanish]

Et germaine alors ?

[@michellemaire1336]

Germaine, comme tant d'autres pianistes de haute qualité, fait évidemment partie des très grands interprètes de l'oeuvre pianistique du grand Gabriel Fauré. Et chaque grand amateur de son oeuvre si particulière et si envoûtante sera plus ou moins "marqué" par tel ou telle interprète dans l'une ou l'autre de ses compositions. Mais ma sensibilité m'a naturellement fait préférer, du moins pour les nocturnes, l'interprétation d'Eric Heidsieck. Pour simple exemple: le 12 è nocturne est si expressif et si bien restitué (à mon humble avis évidemment) dans ce qu'il communique de façon si poignante le climat d'angoisse et d'inquiétude correspondant réellement au climat de grave tension internationale qui était celui de l'année de sa composition (1917 je pense). En l'écoutant encore aujourd'hui, je ressens le même effet devant les évènements si terribles que le monde connait actuellement.@@Celanish

"It is without doubt Eric Heidsieck who best conveys the dreamy and poetic aspect of these nocturnes." It is fascinating to compare the brilliant recordings Heidsieck, Jean Doyen and Thyssens-Valentin made of the Faure Nocturnes - 3 GREAT Faure masters at work. And it light of what I heard from comparing the 3 that I personally differ slightly from your comment quoted above. I would rather say that Thyssens-Valentin best brings out the dreamy aspect of the nocturnes (although not lacking at all in poetry), while Heidseck best brings out the poetic aspect (although not lacking in the dreamy aspect as well). As for Doyen- he best brings out the inner turmoil and fire of the pieces. Just wonderful to here these 3 great masters each giving us something slightly different yet magnificent in these masterpieces. Would not like to be without any of them in my collection. Thanks for making all three available for us of to investigate and compare through Reference Recording.

I'm not familiar with Fauré's piano works until I listened to this video, nor had I ever heard one of the three musicians you mention. By keywords, I mean: dreamy, poetic, fire, inner turmoil. Do you mean how they employ dynamic differences, or the use of rubato, or whatever to achieve an abstract quality? (I'm classically trained, but for leisure, not a career, so I'm always keen to learn how the great musicians interpreted music and set themselves apart from a sea of colleagues).

@@milou4753 I'd like to hear a response to your questions myself. I have no idea what separates "dreamy" from "poetic"; it sounds as if these two words belong to the same lexical field, possibly being used as synonyms.

It’s just silly-childish thinking, really-to assert one or another performer is “THE BEST” without qualifying that feeling with a statement such as, “He is THE BEST performer _in my opinion,_” or, “I love her playing best bc of her amazing interpretation,” or whatever. Please try to remember that _LOVE FOR EVERY ART IS SUBJECTIVE;_ there is no objective way to measure people’s favorites! _SO, PLEASE STOP TRYING!!!_

La version de référence est désormais celle de David Jalbert, pianiste québécois, longtemps détenue pR celle que donna, jadis, le jeune Jean-Philippe Collard à l'égal de Heidsieck. Difficile d'enlaidir les nocturnes de Fauré, tous les noms cités ici, plus haut, sont d'excellents interprètes. J'ai apprécié celle de Thyssens-Valentin mais la qualité des enregistrements d'aujourd'hui permet plus de discernement avec de jeunes talents comme David Jalbert. Hélas, Éric Lesage, si excellent dans Schumann, ne réussit pas du tout sa version des Nocturnes de Fauré! C'est comme ça!

Transcendent, mellifluous, dew drops in the morning...wow

[@jonathanalder2927]

Thank you Gabriel Fauré and Érick Heidsick !

[@calibardo]

Definitely the best interpretation of Faure's nocturnes! 😍

موسيقى تؤكد تجلي الرومانسية بامتيز فيه وفي جيله .... شكرا لامتاعنا بجرعة فنية عالية ، و لا ننسى تألق عازف البيانو .

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne und elegante Interpretation dieser kurzen doch perfekt komponierten Klavierstücke in verschiedenen Tempi mit klarem doch zugleich anmutigem Anschlag und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Wahrlich intelligenter und unvergleichlicher Pianist!

@@tahall5646 Stimmt, absolut schön!

[@fernandofuentes6455]

Fantástico!

[@sebastiantorres2542]

One of the best recorded performances, if not the best, of the Op.73. Here, Heidsieck gives the last variation a chorale and religious quality that reminds me, inevitably, of Bach. Great great recording.

[@excelsior999]

A very astute observation.

[@caramelturc]

Merci Eric ! je n'oublierai jamais votre présence au sein d'ALBRET MUSICAL en Haute Lande. La forêt toute entière s'en souvient encore.

[@valeriechapaux8504]

Merci pour ces notes superbes !

[@freekkraak7836]

Very beautiful! It makes me curious about his other performances, of for instance Chopin.

[@ВасильВасильєв-х5й]

My favorite Chopin - I always cry, when listening his music... There is his open heart... Ukraine Kyiv I'm 72 Vasyl 🙋💖👍

[@knudbalandis9757]

after thi interpretation i do have to reevaluate faures piano music. i had a set, but it never appealed to me. i found mr heidsieck in hisinterpretations really outstanding. alas, there is little tobe found

[@paulheffron4836]

Sometimes it takes repeated listening until a composer's style captures your heart, Knud. After a while you'll find that it's like cultivating a new friendship.

[@jackarcher7495]

Same here. I had a disc that I gave away some time ago because I just couldn't get involved with it. I need to give this music another chance. You listen differently as you get older.
