built 624 days ago

This is vintage Woodward performing vintage Debussy: a clear, luxurious recorded sound, a distinctive yet discreet musical personality and an imaginative, immaculate control of piano sonority are informed by reverence for the composer's text. It is playing distilled from a lifetime's experience with this music, with each performance commanding individual attention and respect.
