“… this is a fine album, full of thoughtful, stimulating performances.”

James V Maiello – Fanfare – November/December 2020

**** Excellent Album

Jacques Bonnaure – Classica magazine (France) – October 2020

“The second volume of Louis Lortie’s series of Fauré recitals offers the kind of solace that repays repeated hearings, with the prospect of enjoyment increasing with each one….It is Lortie’s sincerity and naturalness, infused with the utmost sensitivity and a wide colouristic palette, that makes him a star shining only a fraction less brightly than the uneclipsed Thyssens-Valentin.”

Michelle Assay - Gramophone magazine - July 2020

“… Fauré beautifully played by Lortie…”

Richard Masters – MusicWeb-International.com – 18 May 2020

Performance ***** Recording *****

“… Lortie more than meets the pianistic and musical challenge of Faure’s unshowy virtuosity, his riding of each dappled ebb and flow of the BArcolles reflecting a mature mastery. Nor is there just the rarefied Fauré on show, his insouciant charm and playfulness being to the fore and captured perfectly in the Theme and Variations… “
