About
Debussy's output is roughly divided into three periods, each of which is represented by one of the three discs in this set. Focusing solely on his works for piano duo, the collection effectively represents a vantage point from which to analyse his stylistic development, since it touches on both Debussy's piano and orchestral writing simultaneously: as well as original keyboard works (Lindaraja is one example, the composer's first work inspired by Spain), there are piano pieces arranged for orchestra, orchestral pieces arranged for piano (Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune, for instance) and music that was clearly intended for the orchestra or for specific ensembles (one example is Le triomphe de Bacchus, for which the orchestration was never completed).
Performing these works are two of Italy's most celebrated pianists, Massimiliano Damerini and Marco Rapetti. Their accomplished readings highlight the unique relationship that exists between piano and orchestra - the former can be seen as a monochromatic version of the latter, with the latter essentially describing the former in polychromatic terms - and, at the same time, draw the listener's attention towards an important area of 19th-century music making: namely piano transcriptions' vital role in making operatic and symphonic repertoire available to all.
