"All Ogawa's performances are scrupulously worked, considered and clarified."
- Gramophone
"Five Stars ... firmly immersed in the transcendent sounds of Debussy’s final years ... a predictably mastery recital ... there are moments of breathtaking brilliance ... her sense of poetry and colour are apparent throughout ... her control of atmosphere in the Epigraphes antiques underlines why her series is one of the strongest on disc and a thoroughly outstanding achievement."
- BBC Music Magazine
Released in 2008, this is the fourth installment in Noriko Ogawa's lavishly-praised five volume series devoted to Debussy's piano music. On the programme, Ogawa combines some of the composer's last masterpieces for the piano with rarely heard works. Among the highlights, the 12 Etudes represent Debussy's final, glorious spurt of creativity; dispensing with the catchiness of appealing titles and associations, Debussy regarded the pieces as a return to music in its purest form. The album also includes a rarely heard 13th étude, the Étude retrouvée, only discovered in 1977.
