An absolute joy.......2006-01-26

So many pieces on this album are jewels. "Le fille aux cheveux de lin" and "Nocturnes for Orchestra - Sirenes" are particularly heavenly. "The Sea at Dawn" has an amazing sense of freshness and motion to it and is well placed at the beginning of the CD. A few of the songs on here make excellent background music but lack memorable themes. I wish I could wake up to this CD every morning, truly.

CD review.......2003-04-06

This is a great debussy CD. This CD is my introduction to Debussy, and now debussy is one of my favorite composers. The music in here is relaxing. The performances are excellent also. One complaint, however, is there is a repeat. There are two of the same pieces on the CD. Overall, this is a great CD.

One of my favorite CD's.......2005-02-08

I found this CD in of all places a Walmart.
But any relation to the ordinary stops there.
I have a considerable collection of Debussy's piano music featuring some of the greatest pianists of all time, but none is superior to this. I can only agree with most everything said in the other reviews and add that this CD provides an excellent introduction to this music.
Lipson-Gruzen (an admittedly unusual name) plays the music with an unusual boldness and emotional immediacy that completely dispels the esoteric veneer that often makes Debussy seem more obscure than he ought to.
This is a CD you will play over and over.

Great affordable intro to music of Debussy.......2000-07-30

Ms. Lipson-Gruzen performs some of Claude Debussy's best work here beautifully. The recording quality and piano sound are more than adequate, and the performances are very solid, technically impeccable, and notably expressive. One of my favorite debussy compositions has always been his classic "la fille aux cheveaux de lin" ("the girl with the flaxen hair") and it is one of my favorite pieces on this recording, with a brilliant performance. I think this CD is an exceptional value, and I feel almost anyone who enjoys music would love it. Like i said... it's a steal.

finest collection of Debussy piano music in the stereo age.......2000-07-16

This CD provides the ideal introduction to the piano music of Claude Debussy, or for that matter, to impressionistic music in general. Ms. Lipson Gruzen has found the ideal combination of Romantic qualities; beautiful floating shimmering yet emotionally satisfying sound, with a taught sense of rhythm and classical restraint that toghether make the music a pleasure to the senses as well as to the mind. At last, Debussy that is both accessable and inspiring! The pieces she chooses are among the most appealing and characteristic as well. This is one of my "desert island" albums.

"A Thing of Beauty...".......2000-03-15

With the possible exception of Walter Giesiking's landmark early recordings, I have never heard nor hoped to have heard Debussy pianism as superbly idiomatic and expressive as is the playing on this CD. Ms. Lipson-Gruzen creates a ravishingly beautiful sonic world, one that I look forward to visiting often.

A revelation.......2000-02-02

This New York pianist has been well known and highly regarded in musical and critical circles for many years, but has made few CD's. This one was new to me. What a find! This is artistry of the highest order. Ms. Lipson-Gruzen's Debussy pianism is simply ideal; sensuous, evocative, and ravishingly beautiful in sound. After repeated listening, it continues to prove a revelation. An incredible bargin as well!

Piano Portraits.......2006-01-30

This CD was a fabulous rendition of fantastic piano scores. I am so thankful that William Wellborn has carried on the Chopin tradition as well as other masters of the time. Wellborn's performance truly honors the masters and I am thankful that he continues to lead the charge in performing this wonderful classic music superbly. I enjoyed the entire CD and adoring Chopin so very much, would love the world to fully appreciate his music and this artist truly allows that. I think the stage is set for the future appreciation of this music for generations to come and would love to have Mr. Wellborn cut more CDs. Bravo! Bravo and thank you William!
