Vive la France. Vive Sergio Gallo. Vive French piano music. Vive!!!

The names Cesar Frank, Gabriel Faure, Maurice Ravel and Francis Poulenc are an all star lineup of the greatest composers of French piano music, including Franck's Prelude and Chorale, Faure's Nocturne, Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit and Poulenc's Intermezzo.

While listening to these masterpieces, it's highly recommended that you break out some delicious French bread, your favorite French cheese, and a glass of the finest French wine. Tres bien!
