Featuring pianists Emile Naoumoff and Yau Chang, this Grand Piano release showcases three Sonatas for piano four hands by the prolific composer and eminent member of France’s musical establishment in the later 19th c., Louis Théodore Gouvy (1819-98). + These works, all written in the 1860s, reveal considerable technical command as well as flowing elegance, some of it reminiscent of Schubert and Schumann. + Gouvy’s considerable œuvre, including a large body of four-hand piano music, has been undergoing critical reconsideration and something of a revival on record in recent years.
