Debussy:Preludes Volume 2

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Michelangeli was such a weird guy (he spent his life as a veritable recluse and protected his privacy with attack dogs) and made so few recordings that everything he did arouses interest if only by virtue of its scarcity. A lot of his interpretations came out sounding pretty strange, but in Debussy he was one of the supreme keyboard geniuses of our age and, as if sensing this natural affinity, he recorded a generous selection of the great French composer's piano works. Recorded ten years after his release of Book 1 of the Preludes, this set shows the same sensitively of touch, the same extraordinary clarity of texture, and the same almost frightening powers of concentration. Stunning. --David Hurwitz

SHORT MEASURE, AND NOT HIS BEST.......2004-05-03

That said, it is a sublime, superlative, piece of music, as are they all. I don't to this day have a really fixed notion of how they should be best played. However I had been mightily impressed by Michelangeli's accounts of book I of the preludes, as by his Children's Corner and Images, so it was high time to acquaint myself with his insights into book II. This recording seems to have been made in 1988, the year in which he was first taken ill from the heart condition that was to kill him seven years later, and whether for that reason or some other I have come away with the feeling that this disc is not all it might have been.

The best is saved for the end. Feux d'Artifice is truly remarkable, with the background figuration displaying the haughty uniqueness of touch that set Michelangeli apart when he was at his best. Michelangeli's Debussy in general was not along the lines of, say, Gieseking's or Richter's. It was not specially `impressionistic', the touch deployed was a big touch and the coloration was vivid to the point almost of being garish. Down the years my own benchmark has been an extraordinary live performance from Richter, showing aspects of that giant at his very greatest whether or not it can be deemed a safe recommendation. The difference between him and Michelangeli shows up most spectacularly in the first number, Brouillards. Richter's touch is a miracle of nebulous mistiness, as quiet as could be. By comparison M sounds rather matter-of-fact, and the impression persists through the first 11 pieces, except for La Puerta del Vino and General Lavine which I'm not sure Richter really understands. I'm inclined to say to other listeners `Don't just go off first impressions'. M had a different concept of Debussy entirely. Nevertheless the feeling that this is not, until no12, M at his most inspired is hard to shake off. Even in some purely technical respects such as the execution of trills M is not the out-of-this-world wonder that I know from other contexts.

It's tempting to say about Michelangeli that one has to take the smooth with the smooth. He was not exactly lavish in the amount of his playing he bequeathed to us, and I collect his work systematically for that very reason. When he was below his best the smoothness had a tendency to expressionlessness, and that tendency shows through just a very little here. It's not a disc I would part with, nor is anything else I have from him. Nonetheless when I want to remember M in the Debussy preludes it's La Cathedrale Engloutie and Le Vent sur la Plaine from book I that I tend to think of, from book II only Feux d'Artifice.

The recorded quality is perfectly satisfactory, there is a rather run-of-the-mill liner note, but a cd containing less than 40 minutes' playing would have to be very exceptional indeed for me to give it a higher rating, and for the reasons I've given this disc doesn't seem to me quite that.

Album Description

The Romantic Approach, Volume Two, contains music by some of the greatest French and Italian Romantics: Puccini, Faure' Debussy, Respighi, and numerous others are included. Many of them will be familiar to opera lovers, and that is probably not a coincidence. Opera means high drama, star-crossed lovers, emotions writ large upon a grand stage - the very essence of Romanticism already existed in the opera world, which was a central part of the musical life of France and Italy. The Romantic Approach, Volume Two, reflects this: beautiful melodies from two opera favorites, Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana and Massenet's Thais, are included; and three of the greatest operatic composers, Rossini, Puccini, and Verdi, are all represented by typically soulful instrumental works. But unjustly neglected masterpieces from gifted French and Italian composers Jean Francaix and Guiseppe Martucci are included as well, and the collection is rounded out with emotional, evocative works by Maurice Ravel and Erik Satie.

Like the earlier volume, this collection is centered around the sounds of the instrumental family that is most often associated with Romantic music: the strings. Whether it is singing cellos, soaring violins, or sighing mandolins, the instruments of the string family have an uncanny ability (in the right hands) to express a full range of emotion, and some of the most Romantic music ever written has the sounds of a string quartet or a full string orchestra at its heart.
