Description:

A beautiful sound colored by Latin clarity and an archaic gaze Live recording of Medjieva's recital on October 20, 2018 at Biwako Hall's Small Hall to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Debussy's death. The program, featuring popular works such as "Moonlight," "The Sunken Temple," and "The Maiden with the Flaxen Hair," as well as masterpieces such as "Images Vol. 1" and "The Island of Delights," is well worth listening to. The instrument used is the famous 1927 Erard model 260 owned by the Morita Piano Studio, and the elegant sound is reminiscent of the French culture of the Belle Époque era. From the liner notes: "Ms. Medjieva's piano is as fine as fresh morning dew, and in works such as 'Preludes' and 'Images' she gives the listener a sense of scale that is clear and far-reaching at the same time.
