About

Following the enormous success of Volume One (TP094), we are proud to present Volume 2 of Debussy's Piano Music.

Roy Howat is an internationally regarded Debussy scholar, having edited many of the works for the recent French complete edition. His performances are in the authentic Debussy tradition, strictly adhering to the score, and thus avoiding the overblown sentimentalism and romanticism of many other performances.

Howat plays with intelligence and elegance, using the pedal skillfully to produce a variety of nicely shaded tone colors in unmannered performances, with a good sense of form.

This is a truly distinguished set of Debussy recordings, worthy, in my view, to take their place amongst the very finest on disc. Not only do they throw much new light on very celebrated music, they also contain much which is hard to find recorded anywhere else. Above all, there is sensitivity and vibrant imagination, allied to a transcendental technique always at the service of the music.
