Unanimously acclaimed by her peers, the music-loving public and the press, French pianist Catherine Collard (1947-1993) died far too soon. The memories of her concerts, master classes and generosity are still very much alive today. The recordings made for Erato and EMI gathered here bear witness to her exceptional talent.
"Energy characterised her approach to the piano, the breadth of her gesture, the grandeur of her sound, her physical and intellectual commitment, and her concentration." - Le Monde
"As she is a remarkable musician, brought up in the seraglio by a father who left an indelible mark, composers benefit from the colours that suit them best." - Le Figaro
"An artist who had the gift of transforming any score she touched into pure music." - Diapason
"Clara Haskil's little sister." - Le Monde de la Musique
Recordings from 1973-1990
"No pianist understands the atmosphere of this music or can sharpen its wit more tellingly than Anne Queffelec...she is joined spiritedly by Catherine Collard in the four-handed Trois morceaux en forme de poire with its element of the grotesque, and the infectiously sparkling and audacious La belle excentrique. The piano recording could hardly be more realistic." (Gramophone on the Satie)
""Compelling music-making fully possessing Schumann's gorgeous musical lines, impetuosity and contrast of action/enlightenment" (MusicWeb on the Schumann)
