Debussy, Claude - 5CD-BOX: The Debussy Edition - Rogé, Pascal & Ami
Pascal Rogé, piano
Ami Rogé, piano
Pascal Rogé has been described as the definitive interpreter of this repertoire. Starting in 2005, his Debussy Edition for ONYX gathered impressive reviews from critics, reaching its completion in 2011 with the release of Volume 5. In this last disc Pascal is joined by his wife Ami for a selection of music for two pianos and piano four-hands. Never intended to be an exhaustive survey of Debussy's music for piano, these recordings contain the masterpieces, some delightful shorter works and some of the lesser-known compositions.
Gathered together in this superb value box set with new booklet notes, these recordings provide the ideal introduction to this great music, performed by one of his greatest interpreters.
"Comes close to a definitive interpretation"
BBC Radio 3 -Vol.1
"'A model of piano recording'
The Daily Telegraph-Vol.2
"Pascal Rogé's interpretations of Ravel, Satie, Poulenc and Saint-Saëns have placed himamong the front rank of French pianists for many years and this, his third volume of a complete Debussy cycle, strengthens that further. His delicate, elegant playing in seriesone and two of Images and the suite Pour le piano could hardly be surpassed"
