Description:
Two of Canada's Proudest Pianists Meet in Debussy! Louis Lortie & Hélène Mercier again! All Debussy program played on two Bösendorfer grand pianos (280VC)! Canada's charismatic pianist of French descent, Louis Lortie, and another Canadian-born virtuoso, Hélène Mercier, team up again! It's been 6 years since their 2015 Poulenc album (CHAN10875), and this time they perform on two Bösendorfer grand pianos (280VC) in an all-Debussy program! The program alternates between Debussy's own duets and famous works arranged by musicians of the time (Arabesque No. 1, The Maiden with Flaxen Hair, etc.), and concludes with André Capre's monumental two-piano arrangement of the symphonic poem "The Sea". The piano version, devoid of orchestral coloration, reveals the innovations Debussy brought about and his groundbreaking harmonies. Tokyo M-Plus
