Debussy's 24 Préludes belong to the greatest piano music of the twentieth century, presenting a formidable challenge to pianists and a delight to music lovers. Here British pianist Paul Roberts, one of the world's foremost authorities on Debussy, explores the distinct voice of the master, whose subtle musical language conjures up sensual, as well as emotional, experiences. Included on this DVD are Roberts's in-depth analysis of the 12 Préludes of Book 2, and compelling full performances of La fille aux cheveux de lin (The girl with the flaxen hair), Ce qu'a le vent d'ouest (What the west wind saw), Des pas sur la neige (Footsteps in the snow), Voiles (Sails), and Minstrels.
