Faure - 13 Nocturnes [Jalbert]
It was only less than i week ago that i played Jean-Philippe Collard's version of these 13 Nocturnes [21st October 2012], and it's enlightening comparing the two, as well as having a double dose of these pieces in quick succession, there were certain lesser known numbers that are really starting to seep into my heart, especially 6 & 12, Faure's Nocturnes are nowhere known as much as Chopin's, it really does take constant listening over many years to really get to know them properly, and also a number of different versions to truly appreciate the different things you can do with these pieces, i played this disc a year ago, and wrote about the experience in my Blog [17th October 2011].
David Jalbert is Canadian, he recorded this disc in 2005,
