Claude Debussy: Music for Piano

Claude Debussy: Music for Piano

As a conductor, Daniel Barenboim has had a distinguished history with the orchestral music of Debussy, but this is his first full-album foray into the French composer’s solo piano works. It runs the gamut of Debussy’s Impressionist colour palette, from the shimmering “Clair de Lune”—played with the subtlety and expressive freedom that Barenboim admires so much in Debussy’s own piano-roll recordings—to the restless, swirling prelude “Ce qu’a vu le vent d’ouest”. The simple, hymn-like “La fille aux cheveux de lin”, meanwhile, shines anew under Barenboim’s fingers.
