Composés entre 1909 et 1912 les deux livres de Préludes pour Piano comptent parmi les œuvres tardives de Claude Debussy (1862-1918). Chacune des vingt-quatre compositions - douze par livre - porte un titre évocateur. Elles révèlent une grande diversité de styles de textures de climats et d?émotions et constituent un condensé de toutes les particularités du langage du musicien. Debussy a pris soin de n'indiquer les titres qu'en fin de morceau de façon à permettre à chacun de découvrir ses impressions propres sans être influencé par des images ou poèmes existants. Le terme « impressionniste » prend ici tout son sens.La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin est lehuitième prélude du premier livre. Il est célèbre pour sa profondeur émotionnelle malgré sa simplicité technique et harmonique. Nul ne sait qui fut la fille aux cheveux de lin mais cette miniature merveilleusement subtile réveille notre imaginaire.

The Heat Is on in Saigon ? Kim and Chris Dance ? If You Want to Die in Bed ? Bui-Doi/ SUITE FROM MISS SAIGON : Fruit de la collaboration entre le compositeur Claude-Michel Schönberg et le parolier Alain Boublil Miss Saigon est une comédie musicale qui a fait le tour du monde. Elle fut donnée à 4264 reprises à Londres entre 1989 et 1999 et est restée à l?affiche à Broadway pour plus de 4000 représentations. Il s?agit d?une fresque mélodramatique qui dépeint les développements douleureux d?une histoire d?amour entre un G.I. de l?armée américaine et une Vietnamienne durant les derniers jours de la Guerre du Vietnam. Du grand spectacle !

Impressionist composer Claude Debussy wrote his set of Préludes for the piano between 1909 and 1913. In their entirety, his Préludes total 24 individual pieces in two volumes. It is from these that Karel Deseure has selected fivepreludes for his Cinq Préludes. La fille aux cheveux de lin is probably the most well-known of the five (and Debussy?s 24).Deseure approached each prelude as being musically independent of the others. Consequently, they do not have to be played in a specific order or even as a complete set. It is worth noting that in Debussy?s original edition the titles wereprinted at the end each prelude, almost like a footnote, so the performer could look at the music without being influenced by Debussy?s descriptive titles. The Préludes also demonstrate Debussy?s superb orchestration skills. Deseure took great care orchestrating these five preludes so he could capture and convey their original character and mood as accurately as possible. The original key signatures were kept and only very minute changes were made to the pitchesthemselves, such as occasional octave doublings to fill out the ensemble.
