This 2 CD set includes complete Pr\\xe9ludes together with the Children\\x92s Corner. Debussy\\x92s oeuvre has been explored both by the amateur pianist and the most legendary virtuosos of the keyboard. Throughout his career Debussy sought new ways to express his musical vistas. He began numerous large compositional projects and between these big ventures wrote miniatures such as songs and piano pieces. Fine examples of these are the Pr\\xe9ludes and the Children\\x92s Corner. Debussy\\x92s 24 piano preludes were published in two sets in 1910 and 1913. These miniatures are varied in character and style, and include, among others, references to literature, poetry, nature, the Mediterranean landscape and the events in Paris during Debussy\\x92s lifetime. This work resulted in the creation of such enigmatic pieces as La cath\\xe9drale engloutie, La fille aux cheveux de lin and Des pas sur la neige, to name but a few. The six pieces forming the cycle Children\\x92s Corner (1908) evoke adult recollections of childhood. The set bears a dedication to Debussy\\x92s daughter Chouchou and includes some of Debussy\\x92s most well-known piano pieces, including The Snow is Dancing and Golliwogg\\x92s cake walk. A dedicated performer of French music, Paavali Jumppanen often performs the large cycles of Debussy\\x92s late period, namely the Pr\\xe9ludes and the \\xc9tudes. About a Debussy recital, The Boston Globe reported how \\x93Jumppanen maximized piano\\x92s deeply resonant qualities\\x97not just to create beautiful sound but to point up how radical Debussy\\x92s harmonic language was.\\x94 Another critic (ConcertoNet.com) noted: 'I was bowled over by Mr. Jumppanen\\x92s performance. - - As for his upcoming recording of the complete Debussy Preludes, sight-unseen, I would urge any collector to grab it: if it is anything like the Etudes we heard last Sunday, we are in for a treat!' New York Arts continued: 'Magnificent recital. - - I cannot imagine a more penetrating, subtle, and beautiful traversal of Debussy\\x92s final statement for the piano'.\u003cp\u003eDisc 1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
