Gabriel Faure, a master of song, piano and chamber music, particularly appreciated the deeply colourful range of the Erard grand piano. Its rich overtones and clear bass register made it the ideal instrument for the French salon. This release presents not only Faure's musical vision, but also the soundworld of the Erard grand piano, which played an important role in the musical scene at the time.

Marc Coppey fully embraces the fluid rhetoric of Faure's musical language. His interpretation deliberately eschews a perpetual espressivo, which would be stylistically incongruous, but instead delves deep into the nuances and facets of Faure's compositions: "Faure authentique" presents not only musical brilliance, but also an authentic journey through the French composer's complete works for cello and piano, embedded in the beautiful sound of the Erard grand piano.
