Debussy / Demus Complete Piano Works CD

Now that more than sixty years have elapsed since the death of Claude Debussy, and in the certainty that the French musician belongs to the classics of our century even though, as it always happens, the whims of fashion and the new courses that music has chosen to follow have been casting an alternation of light and shadow on his name, the importance cannot be doubted of his creative work devoted to his favorite instrument - the piano. On this release, Jorg Demus presents Debussy's complete output for piano. Born in 1928, Austrian pianist Jorg Demus received his first piano lessons at the age of six. At the age of 11, he entered the Vienna Academy of Music, where he studied piano and conducting, graduating in 1945. He made his debut as a pianist at the famous Brahms-Saal in Vienna when he was 14 years old and still a conservatory student. He maintained a notable solo career, and was especially noted for combining a Romantic sound and line with an interest in historic keyboard interpretation.
