Images – 1ere Série 12 Préludes – Livre II Symphonic Fragments from Le Martyre de saint Sébastien - 1911 André Caplet transcription revised and completed by Vincent Larderet (World Premiere Recording)
In celebration of Claude Debussy’s Centenary in 2018, the French pianist Vincent Larderet presents a recording of three masterpieces: Images (Book I), Préludes (Book II), and the world premiere recording of André Caplet’s transcription of the Symphonic Fragments from Le Martyre de saint Sébastien, revised and completed by Larderet. Following three highly acclaimed recordings that won 23 awards worldwide and were nominated for the prestigious ICMA Award, ARS Produktion presents an 80-minute album by a pianist whose interpretations have been compared to legends of the piano such as Michelangeli, Arrau and Zimerman and who was praised for his “astonishing range of pianistic colours” (PIANO News, Germany).
