Dennis Lee - Claude Debussy: Piano Works Vol. 2 (Pr?ludes, Livres I et II)

This is the Malaysian pianist Dennis Lee�s eagerly awaited second instalment of Debussy�s complete piano music: the Pr�ludes, Books I and II. With his Pr�ludes, Debussy had accomplished the subtlest of music revolutions. Piano music after the Pr�ludes would never be the same again. They are almost unparalleled in their evocative potency: any child with a vivid imagination will be able to create a story by listening to them, yet their titles appear (in brackets) at the end of each prelude, an unusual practice to encourage a more personal response from the interpreter. Dennis Lee embarks on these landmarks of piano music with intensity and passion. Many musicians before him have recorded the Pr�ludes; Dennis�s version captivates the listener with his restrained but apposite gestures, multi-layered sound finesse and rhythmic exactness. In this pianist�s hands the Pr�ludes blossom like exquisite flowers and cannot but touch the soul. Unforgettable.
