(youtube, 26/1/2018)
Composer: Claude Debussy

(cello), Jolanda Violante (piano)
These original works and arrangements for violin, cello and piano by
Claude Debussy span the composer’s protean career, from the early Piano
Trio of 1880 to the Cello Sonata of 1915 and the Violin Sonata,
completed in 1917 as part of an abortive six-sonata project which ended
halfway when he died the following year. Especially since the
performances are given with the experience harvested by three musicians
who are better known as early-music specialists, soaked in the
philosophy of historically informed performance practice, they offer an
intriguing survey, unique on record, of the composer’s development. As
Harold Schonberg, music critic of The New York Times, wrote, it would be
amusing to invite classical music ‘experts’ to listen to the Piano
Trio, with its expressive reminiscences of Schumann, and then guess who
the composer is: few of them would say Debussy. And yet the two late
sonatas masterfully shuffle the cards of Impressionism, pre-Classical
sonata structures and Stravinskian distance and eccentricity: the Cello
Sonata originally bore a heavily symbolic title (Pierrot faché avec la
lune) relating to the paintings of Watteau with their elusive mixture of
melancholy and irony. It uses the timbre of early music and citations
from the great French harpsichordists to conjure up Pierrot’s moody,
troubled world, which was that of the slyly smiling masks of the
commedia dell’arte.
The arrangements are the work of several hands, among them Debussy
himself, of better-known and justifiably popular works that revel in the
sophisticated evocation of mood through lyrical melody and evanescent
textures, including ‘The Girl with the Flaxen Hair’ and ‘Minstrels’
