Angela Hewitt - Debussy: Solo Piano Music

Angela Hewitt�s previous forays into the French repertoire have been praised for their �tenderness, Gallic wit, verve, and�the most important ingredient of all�charm�. These qualities are very much to the fore in this new disc of Debussy featuring some of the composer�s most sunlit, delightful and popular works.Children�s Corner was written for Debussy�s beloved daughter (though not, as Hewitt explains, for her to play immediately). Hewitt embraces the music�s wit, artful references and gentle beauty. The atmospheric Suite bergamasque includes the famous �Clair de lune�. Also included are the tragic Masques and gorgeously exuberant L�isle joyeuse. Hewitt and Debussy are a perfect match.
