Marius-François Gaillard / Carmen Guilbert - Complete Debussy Recordings (1928-1930) / Debussy, Fauré & Ravel flac album

Marius-François Gaillard was the first pianist to perform the complete piano works of Debussy in concert, which he did first in 1920, and again in 1922. He subsequently made the recordings featured here, and these were by far the largest body of Debussy piano recordings until the 1930s. As such they give us the closest view of Debussy playing to the composers own time and reveal a clarity and objectivity which exemplifies the traditions of French pianism but is somewhat different from the impressionist style of Gieseking which was to follow and become the accepted model. APR Recordings fills the second CD with more marvellous piano playing from the 1930s, by Carmen Guilbert. Recorded by Pathé well after the Gaillard, the sound isn't as life-like, but her playing of Debussy, Faure and Ravel still communicates musicality and authenticity through the hiss and cramped acoustic.

Also recordings by Carmen Guilbert. Recorded 1928-1930, these recordings of piano music by Claude Debussy by Marius-Francois Gaillard (1900-1973) return to us by way of Mark Obert-Thorn, who assembles what at the time had been the largest body of Debussy piano repertory on disc prior to WW II. The reissue coincides with the 2018 centenary of the composer’s birth, and it reveals a dry, literalist style much in contrast with the more impressionistic approach from Walter Gieseking, whose 1950s recordings would somewhat usurp Gaillard’s contribution.
