Am deciding as to whether to get Collard's Faure's piano works, or, as I
have read in some reviews, investigate Kathryn Stott's complete Faure
survey. One review indicates that Stott leaves Collard in the dust.
Any opinions from those who have heard Stott, or admire this pianist? On
Hyperion I think. I have often felt that Collard might be a bit dry,
brittle, technically brilliant of course, for this delicately shaded music.
Maybe Stott is the answer.

I don't know Stott, but Collard's Faure has served me decently for a
long time. Yet everytime I get someone else's (Marguerite Long, Kun-Woo
Paik, etc.) I remember that no single pianist has a corner on this
musi
--particularly Collard!

Personal opinion: if you want lots of wash of sound and pedal that
isn't written go for Hyperion and Ms Stott.
If you want what the composer actually wrote go for Collard.
I cannot say who leaves who in the dust but I know which one of them
actually plays what the composer wrote.

Hi Ray, somebody asked this exact question here about 6 weeks ago.

Of course, but if a direct comparison between Ms Stott and Mr Collard
was what was asked for I'll stand by my personal opinion. Faure I
think an elusive composer and no one, probably, is going to get it all

B&N carries the Collard set? I've never been to one that had any
Brilliant boxes.

They didn't have it, but they had many samples on their listening
stations.

I like the Collard set. It didn't strike me as dry. The Stott is unknown
to me.
A different and interesting style in Faure is that of Grant Johanneson. The
music permits suprising interpretive leeway. I suspect you'll enjoy either
the Collard or the Stott in that regard.
This music seems to get better with each hearing.
