In a series of five compact discs WERGO releases Claude Debussy's complete works for piano - masterly played by Nina Tichman - in a series of five compact discs. Music is for Debussy part of nature, originating from it and returning to it. As a sensitive mediator it allows one a glimpse of an original state of things in which man and nature were one - and at the same time documents painfully the loss of this original state. Expressions like "music of silence" and "music in the open air" are key expressions in understanding Debussy's works.
