I read this a while back, that they’ve fallen off the world stage, so to speak. Decline in French pianists / quality. Not sure which or both. Is it true?

Nah she’s fine. Both her personality and looks are very natural.
Rembrandt.
She was cute in person too. I was charmed by how shy she is.
Debargue & Salle. Not enough to turn the tide of sheeyat.

No love for Fray?
I’d add Aimard, Thibaudet & Chamayou.
Still, pretty bleak compared with the loads of great penists French used to produce in the 20th Century.
A connection with da disappearance of French pianos?
Oh, also - Bavouzet
C tier in my book though
I heard Bavouzet in Amsterdam, at the wonderful Muziekgebouw. He’s elegant and really good, it’s just not going to sear into your life.
No love for Fray?
Not yet. Tru da Vlad’s limited rep taste even narrower dan da Fray’s.
