Haydee Schvartz (piano)About
This recording of the complete Preludes by Haydée Schvartz had its genesis during her studies with pianist and new music specialist Yvar Mikhashoff. Mikhashoff intrigued Schvartz with the titles of the Preludes, which Debussy curiously placed at the end of each.
The booklet’s texts are written by Debussy scholar Denis Herlin, who delves into Debussy’s life, the Preludes, and their titles. The lavishly illustrated booklet contains images referencing these titles.
Bonus tracks: Ms Schvartz is joined by baritone Bryan Church for the song “Ain’t it funny what a difference a few hours make” from the musical The Yankee Consul which Debussy quotes in “Minstrels.” Plus an alternate take of Prelude 6 from Book 1, illustrating two different approaches to this music.
The 20-page book contains texts in English and French by Herlin and Schvartz.
Argentine pianist Haydée Schvartz is already known on Mode Records, having released two previous CDs with the label. She is active in new music as well as classical solo and chamber music repertoire and as a soloist with orchestras. Schvartz participated in the Argentinian premiere of John Cage’s Europera 5 and played the role of Clara Schumann in Gerardo Gandini’s opera Liederkreis at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. She presented the complete piano works of Luciano Berio for the first time in Argentina and Mexico.
