Debussy's magical world - with lucidity and elegance
This is a 5-CD set coming at a bargain price from EMI Music France and containing Debussy's complete piano works.

Well-known and rightfully acclaimed for his interpretations of French piano music, especially Satie, Aldo Ciccolini gives us, in these beautiful Debussy recordings from 1991, a reading that is masculine and fresh, yet lyrical and full of colour.

Compared with renditions by others, Ciccolini's Debussy consistently stays at the top, or above the top. Even Gieseking aficionados will find, I think, this interpretation meaningful.

If you love Debussy, you'll treasure this recording - buy it.

The magic is in Aldo--Bravo!
One only has to listen to Sarabande by the various artists to understand Ciccolini's genius, to name but one of his many treasures. His artistry, itself, is a Masterpiece. I also highly recommend Ciccolini's DVD--Homage to Debussy--which you can purchase at Amazon. Both are transforming.
