About
Lucy Parham compiled this programme first and foremost to reflect the mood of Debussy’s letters (so not in strict cholonological order) and features popular piano works, L’isle joyeuse, ‘Clair de lune’ and ‘Golliwog’s Cakewalk’ from the Children’s Corner suite written for his beloved daughter, Claude-Emma (or Chouchou as he affectionately called her).
Debussy’s contribution to the piano repertoire and its development is immense but it was his also his masterpieces such as the Violin and Cello Sonatas, the Quartet, songs, orchestral works Prélude à l’après midi d’un faune and La Mer and the opera, Pelléas et Mélisande, that proved him to be so influential through his complex harmonic palettes and exploration of harmonic structure.
Acknowledged as one of Britain’s finest pianists, Lucy Parham applies her sensitivity and imagination not only to concertos and recitals, but also to portraits in words and music of such composers as Schumann, Chopin, Liszt and Debussy.
She came to public attention as the Piano Winner of the 1984 BBC Young Musician of the Year. Since her Royal Festival Hall concerto debut at age 16, she has played throughout the UK and around the globe. Lucy is also a regular contributor to BBC Music Magazine, Pianist Magazine and the Guardian and appears frequently on BBC Radio 3 and 4, as a jury member for the final of Young Musician of the Year. Lucy is a Professor at the Guildhall School of Music, London.
