This third volume in Peter Jacobs's survey of the piano music of Cécile Chaminade contains at its heart her one Piano Sonata, a relatively early work dedicated to Moszkowski. Alongside come eight miniatures from the Album des Enfants, and a selection of the morceaux and salon pieces on which her reputation largely – if unjustly – rests.
