Product Description
Contents: [Deutsche Grammophon 125th Anniversary Edition] [First Analog Recording Period] [SHM-CD Specification] [Green Color Label Coating] The colorful and sometimes ethereal music of the French composer Claude Debussy has had an immeasurable influence on 20th-century composers. The Preludes for Piano are one of Debussy's most representative works, with the poetic titles given to each piece expressed in an extremely abstract way through the music. The exquisite technique and refined, beautiful tone of the legendary Italian pianist Michelangeli are a perfect match for Debussy's music, and Michelangeli's recording of the Preludes has long been listened to as a representative masterpiece of this work.
