Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli was an Italian classical pianist. He is considered one of the greatest pianists of the twentieth century. Here, he presents a reference recording of the great Claude Debussy with an imaginative programme, at times contemplative and at times rousing.
Children's Corner, L. 113, is a 6-movement suite for solo piano. Debussy composed Children's Corner between 1906 and 1908. He dedicated the suite to his daughter, Claude-Emma (known as "Chou-Chou"), who was born on 30 October 1905 in Paris. She is described as a lively and friendly child who was adored by her father. She was three years old when he dedicated the suite to her in 1908. The dedication reads: "A ma chère petite Chouchou, avec les tendres excuses de son Père pour ce qui va suivre. C. D." (To my dear little Chouchou, with tender apologies from her father for what follows).
Les Images are distinct from Debussy's Images pour orchestre. The pieces in the first series were written between 1901 and 1905 and the pieces in the second series were written in 1907.
