"Four Stars ... superbly played and recorded ... excellent both musically and sonically ... it’s certainly the best piano recording I have heard and the performance is faultless."
- Audiophile Audition
"... Lewin takes a firm if never less than musicianly hand to many of the composer’s most fragile and intimate confidences ... masterly and assured in such outgoing music ... sound is excellent ..."
- Gramophone
Acclaimed American pianist Michael Lewin's Beau Soir - Préludes Book II & Other Works is a collection of popular works from Debussy, one of the world’s favourite composers, captured in stunning high resolution stereo on this 2014 release.
"Debussy is one of the most special composers for me. He wrote what is for me some of the most beautiful, rewarding music to play and to live with. This is the first album I've done where a majority of the pieces are standard repertoire, many of them often recorded. One should really have something very, very special and particular and unique and hopefully compelling and convincing to say about standard repertoire if one is going to set it down for posterity. Hopefully this will reflect my long involvement and experiences with Debussy."
- Michael Lewin
