 Awesome Interpretations of Debussy August 16, 2010
MusicRules (USA)
A long time ago, I started playing some of the music on this CD. Technically, it is very difficult, but with the right interpretation, technique and talent, it can be done. The Engulfed Cathedral is my all time favorite piece, but I also like the other pieces.
The volume is varied a lot on this CD, but that really tells me how well this is played. I own a powerful piano like the one played on here and it is VERY difficult to play some of the music as softly and as fast paced as is done on this CD.
The Second Arabesque and Sarabande are my favorite pieces that reflect flexibility to play both a slow rate as well as a fast pace. The Arabesque has a lot of awkward rhythm in it (2 notes per beat in one hand and 3 notes per beat in the other hand).
I would probably play some of the music at a slightly slower pace, but that's up to personal preference. Impressionist music is left up to interpretation. I have this CD playing a LOT so I can study its music, relax by it and overall zone out with it.
Debussy has always been my favorite composer. His music is sort of like jazz because it has awkward rhythms, sounds and switches key signatures in one piece, but somehow returns back to the original theme. This is somewhere in between classical and jazz as far as a style of music, but it kind of stands on its own as well.

If you like lovely piano music, you will LOVE this. Great dinner music. And Clair de lune is the missing song from the Twilight soundtrack. Greatly missed. That is why I bought this, and the whole album is fantastic.
Soothing Debussy February 17, 2010
Elizabeth A. Keehan-kirby (Arlington, VA United States)
This is a well produced and honorable interpretation of Debussy's work. Amongst classical compositions, I prefer that which soothes and calms. Debussy, truly is inspired with his pieces and they will leave you with a sense of serenity and peace. Delightful to hear! Any appreciator of the classics needs to have Debussy in his collection. This recording is a fine introduction to his contribution to the music world.

What can I say about Debussy that hasn't already been said throughout the years. Love his music. It's the only CD I use to relax. Weather I'm in the tub or in my car trying to calm down my road rage Debussy does the trick.
