@@squirrel4727 My father had a book of the 100 Greatest Composers and Fauré was listed in there. I don't think that would be a sign of being underrated . . .
There are no minor works by Gabriel Fauré. The pianism and the pheomenal harmonic inventivity of Gabriel Fauré is present at each bar of these five impromptus.
@@PieInTheSky9 it sounds like you were amazed to find out Fauré lived in the period he did because he music was so forward thinking for his timeframe.
I grew up on these JP Collard recordings back in the early '80's. I think Kathryn Stott runs him pretty close (but differently) in her survey of Faure but Collard's recordings are, I feel, closer to the original. I still listen to Stott a lot on her complete Hyperion recordings on CD but not much available of her on YT.
Fauré is the definition of an underrated composer.
or Mendelssohn
Zachary Gray Nah Mendelssohn isn't underrated

I don’t think this is its definition

The left hand accompaniment pattern of No.3’s theme is soooo special and awesome!
Gabriel Fauré me calme et m'enchante
I love the whole tone scales in the last one!
Thx for the upload! I didnt know these pieces before, but now I absolutely in love with them!
Thank you! There is still so much Fauré to add. You can check the first piano quartet on my channel!

Gérard Begni agreed. His harmonies and piano sound are phenomenal!
Thank you . Sometimes his harmonies are verydifficult to interpret, and sound so beautiful !!!!
I was very surprised to learn that Faure lived and wrote when he did. He was way ahead of his time!
He was also one of the teachers of Maurice Ravel. Ravel dedicated his String Quartet to Faure, I believe.
Umm.. yes, I'm pretty sure that all composers lived and wrote. I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
@@toothlesstoe I dunno really what I was trying to say

Thank you very much! :)
The beginning of no. 4 really got my balance ripped.
still good tho
M. Ravel's ''Noctuelles'' must be based in part on Faure's first Impromptu.
A section in No.2 in f minor is played differently from most sources. Has everyone noticed that?
il ne devrait y avoir que ce genre de musique avec Ravel Debussy Poulenc Y Loriod
3:41 no.2
