Swiss pianist Francesco Piemontesi, named Best Newcomer of 2012 by BBC Music Magazine, presents this recital of Debussy's challenging Préludes, based on a new edition of the works by Durand-Salabert-Eschig and co-directed by French piano music scholar Roy Howat. Though widely renowned for his interpretations of Mozart, Piemontesi's pianism and sensibility have close affinity with the Préludes, which he has included regularly and to great acclaim in his live performances.
"(Debussy's) works challenge the performer in myriad ways: they are technically demanding, but in addition to virtuosic pianism, Debussy requires an equally virtuosic handling of colours, shading and character. In 20th century music, this is not always a matter of course."
- Francesco Piemontesi
