About

The recent discovery (2008) of the Première Suite d’orchestre for piano, four hands is a large-scale, sonorous work which reveals Debussy’s interest in constantly evolving form.

Derived in part from his incidental music for the Chansons de Bilitis, an evocation of poetic scenes from an ancient pagan world, Six Épigraphes antiques is a colourful work of considerable creative freedom. The Petite Suite includes such well-loved movements as En bateau and Cortège, while the Marche écossaise is heard on this recording in its rare first version.

A pupil of Yves Nat and Jacques Février and, in Russia, of Stanislav Neuhaus, Jean-Pierre Armengaud is one of the leading interpreters of French music from Rameau to Henri Dutilleux. Olivier Chauzu was awarded the Prix Debussy at the Yvonne Lefèbure competition at Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
