These Faure pieces grow on you. Lots of depth, pianistic virtuosity, building up to climaxes, interesting short motifs, interesting modulations and chord changes , interesting keys, great subtlety .
Hephaestus
All of them are Jean-Philipe Collard.
Howard Chasnoff
Also he makes use of rising and falling sequences using short motivic phrases

9:26 onwards is sublime, beyond words...
tneveca
Amazing performance. The B# octaves towards the end if the first section are wrongly played as B. Sounds bizarre!
Shaun Reid
Agreed it is sublime
robert frank gill
Almost as passionate a middle section as Nocturne No 6, Op 63.
The Musical Gerbil
That'd be C-sharp minor, not major.
Edward Niedermaier
Which recording is this? The pianist plays wrong notes on the downbeat at 3:43. Very interesting...

It happens at 3:43 and 8:41.
