Michelangeli and Debussy - the two names bring to mind beautiful masterpieces for piano. That is what was produced whenever the master pianist, Michelangeli, sat down at a piano to play Debussy, as he did here in the complete cycle of Debussy's Preludes, Book (Livre) 1, a group of tone poems, along with Book 2, in the form of Preludes for Piano.

'La danse de Puck' ("Puck's dance") is the eleventh piece of the twelve Preludes in Book 1. It is referencing the character from Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. The tempo marking is 'Capricieux et leger'.

Enjoy!

  • Agreed. I'd love to hear an orchestration of this piece. I imagine it in my mind all the time.

  • I can see Pack runs and jumps so speedy, like a magic.

    It's wonderful performance.

    I can hear the voices of winds, too.
