…Naxos continues its fascinating series ‘Women at the Piano’ with Vols 4 and 5. Virtually all these performances have a liberating joie de vivre, a freedom to let go and be oneself. Constance Keene is scintillating, characterful and superbly assured Reine Gianoli is vivacious and original with Liza Fuchsova we are in a Smetana rarity Marie-Thérèse Fourneau is both impassioned and insinuating Vol 5 is absorbing and includes performances of great documentary interest. As with the previous issue, many of these are by pianists whose names long ago slipped into oblivion and the newer volume displays a cornucopia of talents.
