Claude Debussy: 24 Preludes
LabelRomeo Records
Year2013
Sheppard performs Debussy’s complete two books of Preludes, a collection that encompasses atmospheric landscapes, character studies, dances, literary references, humor, and some of the composer’s most radical experiments with harmony and keyboard color. Recorded live at Meany Theater, the album emphasizes Debussy’s extraordinary range of sonority, from the submerged grandeur of La cathédrale engloutie to the brilliance of Feux d’artifice
