Samazeuilh: Piano Works - Stéphane Lemelin

Mysteriously missing from the repertoire of performers a few decades ago, Gustave Samazeuilh left behind an interesting piano work to which Stéphane Lemelin has dedicated this disc. A pupil of Ernest Chausson until the latter's death, Samazeuilh entered the Schola Cantorum in 1900 where until 1906 he was a pupil of Vincent D'Indy and Paul Dukas. Although he remained faithful to the discipline of writing acquired at this school, Samazeuilh's style is strongly influenced by Debussy and escapes the academic rigor that often characterizes the work of D'Indy's disciples.
