Marking one hundred years since the death of Claude Debussy, the harmonia mundi family of artists wished to pay homage to the acknowledged 'father of modern music.' For this final volume in our series of tributes to the composer, Roger Muraro presents the first recording of Fauvettes de l'Hérault ('Warblers of the Hérault') which he assembled from Olivier Messiaen's planned concerto in honor of Debussy, left in sketch form. As for the Debussy Études which date from some 40 years earlier, the composer had dedicated them "to the memory of Frédéric Chopin."
"It is well worth catching up on Debussy recordings from 2018, being the centenary of his death. There were many fine releases from major record labels (notably Harmonia Mundi and Warner Classics). French pianist Roger Muraro's recording of Debussy's etudes, with Messiaen, is a notable example. The etudes, among Debussy's last compositions (1915), are simply captivating. Muraro is a top-notch musician; he performs wonderfully on a finely balanced recording. Highly recommended." Nicholas Butler/Marbecks
