About this album
Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli’s Debussy is admired for its extraordinary precision, tonal refinement and poise. This 1971 release pairs Images I and II with Children’s Corner, works that let Debussy’s piano writing shimmer through colour, touch and subtle rhythmic lift. Michelangeli brings unusual clarity to the dreamlike textures of Reflets dans l’eau and Cloches à travers les feuilles, while keeping the wit and tenderness of Children’s Corner sharply defined. The result is a performance set widely regarded as one of the great Debussy interpretations on record, combining cool control with an unmistakable sense of atmosphere and musical imagination.
