Godard: Piano Works, Vol. 1
) | Label: GRAND PIANO Catalog: GP683 Format: CD ELIANE REYESBenjamin Godard was regarded as one of the most promising French composers of the second half of the 19th c., but his music fell out of favor after his untimely death at the age of 45. Most of his piano works are delightful character pieces or miniatures but his two powerful piano sonatas make him one of the very few French composers to have experimented with this form. The Belgian pianist Eliane Reyes’ recordings have brought various awards and honors, including in 2013 a nomination in the contemporary music category for her recording of piano works by Nicolas Bacri [Naxos 8.572530].
