Description

Once again, Michael Korstick demonstrates that in Debussy's highly complex piano music, adhering precisely to what the composer has written is a fundamental prerequisite for an interpretation of the highest standard, because even at first glance, Debussy's sketch drafts appear highly untidy, yet reveal extreme precision in detail. This is also evident in this 5th installment of the award-winning complete recording of Debussy's piano works by Michael Korstick. Debussy's études are among the most demanding works in the piano repertoire.
