Forgotten Pianists: Henriette Faure

French pianist Henriette Faure (1907-1985) made the music of Maurice Ravel sing on the performing stage. One of the first to play his music in public, she made recordings of his works from the 1930s to 1950, but died before she was able to complete her projected recordings of the complete piano music of Ravel.

The first piano recital, which consisted solely of Ravel’s music, was given by Faure in 1923 at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris. She had spent much of 1922 working with Ravel and her recordings are considered closest in spirit to what the composer had intended.
