DEBUSSY & MURAIL: REVOLUTIONS - FRANCOIS-FREDERIC GUY

‘To link Debussy with the compositions of Tristan Murail is to place musical evolution in a historical logic of sonic upheavals’, says the pianist François-Frédéric Guy.
Fascinated by idioms that revolutionise music, today he takes us on a journey between two immensely creative figures. At a distance of more than a century, Claude Debussy and Tristan Murail reveal the same concern for precision in writing and preservation of freedom of thought. The works assembled in this album metamorphose colours and spaces: they offer unprecedented poetic imagination, constantly expanding dreamlike worlds. The impression that remains on the listener's memory is above all one of astonishing and intense emotion.
