Barbizet, Bruckner and other delights
Pierre Barbizet makes rare solo appearances on two discs of Chabrier
Pianist Pierre Barbizet brought great character and integrity to his performances, perhaps most notably with the violinist Christian Ferras. That pairing looms large(), a 14-disc set which shines a light on the Chilean-born musician’s recordings made from the 1960s-80s. Other partners include fellow pianists Samson François and Jean Hubeau, while Barbizet makes rare solo appearances on two discs of Chabrier. Original jacket artwork is a welcome addition, with at least two CD premieres.
