{"product_id":"samson-francois-complete-recordings-cd","title":"Samson Francois - Complete Recordings [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eLimited box containing 54 CDs plus DVD. Samson François was a true poet of the piano. A brilliant, inspired pianist especially identified with the music of Chopin, Debussy and Ravel, he played with both the proverbial clarity of the French school and a visceral immediacy and spontaneity. Charismatic, sometimes provocative, and numbering jazz among his passions, he achieved celebrity status - notably in France and Japan. The works of Chopin are prominent in this collection - melodic contours were always a priority for François - but the complete list of composers is richly diverse. Three major new bonuses are the long-awaited world premiere release of François' penultimate live recital, recorded at the Nohant Festival in France in June 1970, just four months before his death at the age of 46; a recital recorded in Tokyo in 1969, and a DVD documentary, written by his son, Maximilien François. This new edition places all recordings in the context of their original couplings and the CD wallets carry the original artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 190295261863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Erato\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.6.20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Erato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46437844975766,"sku":"473335","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/6572\/8662\/files\/3858867-2608703.jpg?v=1782774406","url":"https:\/\/thevinylgrooverecords.com\/products\/samson-francois-complete-recordings-cd","provider":"The Vinyl Groove Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
