Description in Japanese

プーランク: ピアノ作品全集/ ポール・クロスリー (pf)

ドビュッシーやラヴェルなどフランス音楽の名解釈で知られるポール・クロスリー屈指が1987年に録音したプーランクのピアノ独奏曲全曲を収めた名盤が復活。プーランク独特の「心地よい奇想天外さ」「とらえどころのない性格」を見事に表出しており、1992年の初出時には日本盤としては初めての全曲盤として高く評価された。現代音楽にも強いクロスリーならではのシリアスながらクールで洒落た味わいがまさに絶品。素晴らしい音響で知られ、ブリテンが創始したオールドバラ音楽祭の本拠地であり、スネイプのモールティングスで名手トニー・フォークナーによって収録された名録音でもある。録音: 1987年 スネイプ、モールティングス
