Debussy’s early promise as a virtuoso pianist never blossomed; instead he turned to composition, resulting in the creation of some of the 20th century’s greatest music. But he never abandoned the piano, and this beautifully played album gathers together some of his finest shorter works for the instrument. In pieces such as the Suite bergamasque and Images 2e Série, Lugansky ravishes the ear with playing of delicacy and fantasy. L’Isle joyeuse is gorgeous while “Jardins sous la pluie” conjures up the image of rain on leaves with astounding clarity.
