This recording was made in March 2019 at the Église Évangélique Saint-Marcel in Paris, France, using a Steinway D Concert Grand piano.
Couperin was innovative in moving away from the strict formalism of dances, allowing poetry to emerge in his compositions.
Both Couperin and Debussy aimed to break from the conventions of their eras, infusing their compositions with lightness and color.
Debussy's compositions often feature landscapes as the main character, focusing more on visual and atmospheric elements than on direct feelings.
Debussy's piano works are rooted in poetry and fantasy, aiming to give free rein to the imagination of both performers and listeners.
Couperin and Debussy, though two centuries apart, share a desire to evoke mystery, sensuality, and fantasy in their music.
This album brings together pieces by Couperin and Debussy, two composers separated by two centuries, an original choice by pianist Amandine Habib.
