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.
Another of Debussy's most impressive (this is one of the pieces that would spearhead the "Impressionist" movement with which Debussy so hated being associated) and startlingly gorgeous pieces composed is the tenth Prelude, 'La Cathedrale engloutie', "The Engulfed (or "Sunken") Cathedral. The piece is based upon the myth of the island of Ys and a church that, although buried under water, rises and appears on clear mornings. The sounds of chorals, bells and monks chanting can be heard in the delicate composition. Debussy marked the piece's tempo as 'Profondemente calme'.
Enjoy!

What wonderfully uniform fingers, that all of the notes within such sonorities can easily be distinguished from one another!
