Rare French Musique...
Sébastien Melmoth | Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS | 02/11/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

".

Nice reissue of some rare French piano music, at a bargan rate.



Ciccolini is an adequate pianist who specializes in French art. His readings of Satie are questionable--but Massenet's piano pieces are otherwise unobtainable.



Jules Massenet is not widely remembered now--aside from a couple of operas which maintain a toehold in the repetoire. In his heyday during the Second Empire, however, he was an important teacher and opera impresario. These little piano pieces reflect the pale rosy eroticism popular in art during the corrupt reign of Napoleon III.
