EMI Classics & Virgin Classics Recordings

The French pianist Catherine Collard (1947-1993), who was unanimously praised by her colleagues, music lovers and the press, died far too young. The memories of her concerts, masterclasses and generosity are still vivid today. The recordings collected here for Erato and EMI bear witness to her extraordinary talent.
