Préludes Livre I
Claude Debussy was profoundly permeated by his French roots. But works like Ballade (slave) also prove that Russian influences from Tchaikovsky also played an important role. The Danse bohémienne and the Arabesques also allow the listener, standing with both feet in France, to wander towards the East in thought. It's a good thing the young Russian pianist Amir Tebenikhin knows so well how to take us on this trip with this second CD of the Blüthner-Debussy collection.

"Tebenikhin brings all the necessary elements to these works: imagination, rhythmic drive, tenderness, and an unfailing sense of legato line."

"At the very first new notes I immediately looked up and smiled. Damn this sounds good and it ain’t just the engineering. This piano is utterly amazing."
