Description
An innovative genius, Claude Debussy is famous for his mature 'Impressionist' music, though he rather disliked the term. He frequently performed four-hand piano pieces in concert, most of the works on this disc either being composed or adapted by him for this line-up. The imaginative figuration, kaleidoscopic sonorities and moments of dazzling virtuosity found in these rarely heard works from the 1880s are a testament to Debussy's skills both as a performer and a composer. Pianists Adrienne Soos and Ivo Haag have been a firmly-established piano duo for more than fifteen years, becoming one of the leading ensembles in Switzerland.
