Schmitt's pieces have such wonderful character ... and the scores are often just gorgeous creations in and of themselves. I can't thank you enough for these uploads!
+Thomas Little I absolutely agree. The first time I looked up the score to Ombres I was blown away. In fact I just stumbled upon another composer with similarly beautiful and intricate scores which I'll try to get up over the next few days. You're very welcome, and if you ever find similar composers who need more attention feel free to fire them my way!
+Thomas Little Actually, I'm going to start on one of his works now and see if I can upload it tonight. Turns out its from the same Publisher so thats why it looks so awesome.
+toothless toe I had two piano sonatas lined up and half ready. Might do his Poeme Roumain, 2 Romanian Rhapsodies, and first Suite later if I have time. Any other suggestions? I haven't listened to much of him other than those listed.
Got some works by Mariotte being prepared for upload (Kakemonos), though I'm struggling to find enough recordings of his works outside the Timpani label. Decaux is one of my favourites too (olla-vogala has Clairs de Lune on his channel), but Delage and Samazeuih are new to me. Got some listening to do! Thanks for sharing those names!
Thanks for uploading so much Schmitt. Listening to 20th cent French piano music for 40+ years and had never heard of him at all, which is a shame! I certainly don't have the academic credentials to say why it is not so, but my *ears* say he certainly does deserve a place (at very least as much floor space as Satie indeed deserves) in the Debussy/Ravel/Faure/ shrine. Schmitt simply shouldn't be missed and I'll certainly look to your channel in the future for other works and composers that I have neglected. And the notes (don't know if those are your words or pulled from CD liner notes) are always a great addition.
The incomparable refinement of French music. What do you expect, pianists, to put the works of this magnificent composer to your programs? Thanks to Medtnaculus for sharing.
More information about this music, plus an interview with pianist Kenan Henderson, can be found here: florentschmitt.com/2013/10/27/florent-schmitts-crepuscules-1898-1911-richly-evocative-tone-painting-in-the-french-pianistic-tradition/
Honestly, Sylphides reminds me very much of Ravel's Noctuelles. Considering the composition of this set overlaps with Miroirs, I wonder if there was any influence in either direction between the composers.
Absolutely. Kenan Henderson, the pianist in this performance, speaks to the "cross-pollination" between Ravel and Schmitt in this interview article: florentschmitt.com/2013/10/27/florent-schmitts-crepuscules-1898-1911-richly-evocative-tone-painting-in-the-french-pianistic-tradition/
