Debussy: Early Works for Piano Duet


 …this is easygoing music that cajoles the ears…The performances are appropriate to the music’s softness of spirit. Adrienne Soós and Ivo Haag…have a fine sense of the music’s graciousness and sweet lyricism…these performances would be well worth hearing…warmly recommended. --Fanfare, November 2011

An innovative genius, Claude Debussy is famous for his mature ‘Impressionist’ music, though he rather disliked the term. He frequently performed four-hand piano pieces in concert, most of the works on this disc either being composed or adapted by him for this line-up.


The imaginative figuration, kaleidoscopic sonorities and moments of dazzling virtuosity found in these rarely heard works from the 1880s are a testament to Debussy’s skills both as a performer and a composer. Pianists Adrienne Soós and Ivo Haag have been a firmly-established piano duo for more than fifteen years, becoming one of the leading ensembles in Switzerland.
