Claude Debussy: Inabes inédites; Estampes more music like this

performed by Alain Planès (piano)
composed by Claude Debussy

So good that one could only wish it was better, the final volume in Alain Planès' series of recordings of the complete piano works of Claude Debussy includes his well-known Estampes and Pour le piano, his much less-known Six Èpigraphes antiques, his nearly unknown Valse romantique and Ballade slave, and his unpublished until 1977 Images inédites. ...

Debussy: Children's Corner; Suite Bergamasque; Images more music like this

performed by Alain Planès (piano)
composed by Claude Debussy

As an advertisement for Blüthner pianos, this disc is completely convincing. From its powerfully modulated bass through its warmly singing midrange to its clearly ringing treble, the Blüthner used in this recording is a magnificent instrument. As a recording of Debussy's piano music, however, this disc leaves two things to be desired. First is the ...

Scarlatti: Essercizi, K. 1-30 more music like this

performed by Alain Planès (fortepiano)
composed by Domenico Scarlatti

The early fortepiano used by Alain Planès in this recording of Scarlatti's Essercizi is the perfect instrument for these works in many ways. It has the sound of a harpsichord, but allows some of the expressive capabilities of a piano through the use of two knee levers. The action of the fortepiano does not allow for as much alteration of tone ...

Schubert: Sonata D.959; Impromptus Op. 142 (1998) more music like this

performed by Alain Planès (piano)
composed by Franz Schubert

It's reasonably well played, sensibly interpreted, and rationally recorded. There is nothing wrong with Alain Planès' 1997 Harmonia Mundi recording of Schubert's A major Piano Sonata, coupled with his Opus 142 Impromptus. Planès can handle Schubert's sometimes knotty piano writing, manage his sometimes sprawling structures, and control his ...

In place of the usual jumbled compilation discs, Harmonia Mundi has collected some of its recent Haydn releases into something entirely new: a survey of Haydn's career, in Spanish and English, contained in a hardbound 80-page booket with numerous full-color artworks from Haydn's time and other illustrations. The writing by Charles Johnston is ...

Haydn: Piano Sonatas, Vol. 2: The Late Sonatas more music like this

performed by Alain Planès (piano)
composed by Franz Joseph Haydn

The best thing about this set of late Haydn sonatas by French pianist Alain Planès (or Planes -- the cover and the spine of this album don't agree) is the program: Haydn's late piano sonatas are often paired with earlier works, but they are best approached as a discrete group. They have a great deal to do with Beethoven's early style (as much as ...
