With the 24 PrÃ©ludes, Debussy produced a masterpiece of musical Impressionism. In contrast with the predominant currents of classical music before and during Debussy's time, most of them seem to lack structure. They incarnate a spirit of musical freedom, openness and flexibility in terms of material, expressive potential and influences - traits which, at the time, were revolutionary. The cycle of PrÃ©ludes is a marvelous world of sound that draws it's inspiration from the most diverse sources: nature, fairy-tales, mythology, painting, literature, sculpture, and dance, as well as real people and fictional characters - a profusion of enthralling impressions experienced at one time or another by the composer. Ever since winning seven prizes at the Concours Olivier Messiaen piano contemporain 2003 in Paris and the Concours International de piano d'OrlÃ©ans 2006, Prodromos Symeonidis has gained worldwide recognition as an outstanding interpreter of contemporary music and classical music in general. His playing has elicited enthusiasm and praise from some of the world's top musicians and critics.
