Description:

Undoubtedly the foremost French female pianist of the 20th century, Marguerite Long (1874-1966) prided herself on her personal friendships with some of the foremost composers of her day - Debussy, Fauré and Ravel. She championed their works, premiering Ravel's G major piano concerto, and was to write books on the interpretation of each of them. This addition to our continuing French Piano School series is the second of two APR volumes, together containing her complete recordings of French repertoire, and of honorary Frenchman, Chopin. Of particular significance here are the premiere recordings of the Ravel G major and Milhaud 1st concertos - both works dedicated to her - and also the first ever recording of Chopin's 2nd Concerto from 1929, which has not previously been reissued.

"Marguerite Long Vol.2" is a captivating CD release by the legendary French pianist Marguerite Long, produced by APR, a label renowned for its dedication to restoring and presenting historic classical recordings in exceptional quality. This volume showcases Long's refined interpretations of works by composers such as Debussy, Ravel, and Fauré?composers with whom she had personal connections and whose music she helped popularize during her illustrious career. Marguerite Long was celebrated not only for her virtuosic technique but also for her deep musical insight; she premiered several important works and collaborated closely with leading composers of her time. Her legacy includes an influential teaching career that shaped generations of pianists. With "Marguerite Long Vol.2," listeners are invited to experience the artistry of one of France?s most distinguished musicians through meticulously remastered performances that capture both historical significance and emotional depth.
