Fred Flaxman's latest compact discoveries are CDs of music by an extraordinarily talented French woman composer and pianist who lived from 1857 until 1944. The program starts with two very different versions of her most famous piano piece, the "Scarf Dance," and goes on to include her strikingly melodious "Trio No. 1 in G Minor" performed by the Tzigane Piano Trio, her "S?r?nade espagnole" as transcribed by Fritz Kreisler and played by Itzhak Perlman on one of his "Greatest Hits" CDs, and her "Concertst?ck for Piano and Orchestra" with Rosario Marciano and the Orchestra of Radio Luxembourg conducted by Louis de Froment. The hour concludes with a beautiful piano piece by this master of the keyboard.
