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 second piece is 'Voiles' translates as "Veils" or "Sails" and that is exactly how Debussy intended it to be; not easily understood. Even the title, possibly being "veil" hints at the mystery of the piece. Debussy marked the tempo as 'Modere'.
Enjoy!"
