Debussy's Paris

Zusatztext

<span><span>Claude Debussys exquisite piano works have captivated generations with their dreamlike atmosphere and mysterious soundscapes. Written in Paris at the height of the Belle Époque, the music creates a soundtrack for Parisians enjoyment of such delights as clowns, mermaids, eccentric dances, and the dark tales of Edgar Allan Poe.</span><span>Debussys Paris: Piano Portraits of the Belle Époque</span><span>explores how key works reflect not only the most appealing and innocent aspects of Paris but also more disquieting attitudes of the time such as racism, colonial domination, and nationalistic hostility. Debussy left no avenue unexplored, and his piano works present a sweeping overview of the passions, vices, and obsessions of the era.</span></span><br><span></span><br><span><span>Pianist Catherine Kautsky reveals little-known elements of Parisian culture and weaves the music, the man, the city, and the era into an indissoluble whole. Her portrait will delight anyone who has ever been entranced by Debussys music or the city that inspired it.</span></span>
