Gabriel Fauré, as a master of song, piano and chamber music, particularly appreciated the modulating sound of the Érard grand piano. It fascinated him with its rich overtones and the clear bass tones, which made it the ideal instrument for the French salon. The publication presents not only Fauré's musical vision, but also the sound world of the Érard grand piano, which played an important role in the music scene at the time.

Marc Coppey fully immerses himself in the fluid rhetoric of Fauré's musical language. His interpretation deliberately dispenses with a permanent expression that is foreign to style and instead delves deeply into the nuances and facets of Fauré's compositions. "Fauré authentique" thus presents not only musical brilliance, but also an authentic journey through the French composer's complete works for cello and piano, embedded in the sonic beauty of the Érard grand piano.
