Vasary won a price at Chopin's competition. No surprise in Debussy's interpretation. Vasary is still alive (living in Budapest I believe, aged 90 or more)
I had this LP, and is one of my favorite Debussy recordings, for the right tempi, and the elegance of the touch. Could you post the remaining of the album ? Thanks ?
Stunning from beginning to end - even with my mild questioning of the tempo of the minuet - maybe more in keeping with minuetto - but a fabulous colorist who never loses sight of the structure. I've always known the name but the playing is great find for me.
This is a brilliant comment that perfectly articulates what seems "off" about other pianists I've heard playing this prelude! His counting really is eccentric but it makes the piece sing
