Description:

In 2018, the 100th anniversary of Debussy's death, the ARCANA label is reviving a series of classic Debussy performances to shed light on the "Debussy masterpieces" that have lain dormant on the ARCANA label. This 2-CD set is a collection of piano works performed by French pianist (and composer) Stany David Lasry in 1995 and 1996. The performances are performed on Erard pianos made in 1921 and 1874, which reproduce the beautiful sounds that Debussy himself would have heard. The sound of the 1874 Erard piano used on CD2 is especially beautiful. The well-preserved instrument produces a soft and mellow sound that has matured over more than a century. Naxos Japan
