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.

The final piece in the 12 piece work known as Preludes, Book 1 is simply titled "Minstrels". Debussy used the tempo notation of 'Modere' for this piece.

Enjoy!
