Claudio Constantini

Composer born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye on the 22nd of august of 1862 and who died in Paris on the 25th of March of 1918, protagonist of the creative evolution that the 20th century needed to keep ties with history and to search for renewed dialectical reasons for an “organic and animated” speech (Jankelevitch).  Debussy modified the inertias without altering the thread of history, he changed the courses without loosing north and avoided the ruptures that lead only to isolation and melancholy. All this is manifested in the works that Peruvian pianist Claudio Constantini reveals to us in this discographic document, second of a series that announces the recording of the complete piano output of the French composer, in which he performs the 24 Preludes, composed by Debussy in two volumes, the first from 1909 to 1910, while he was already ill with the cancer which would cause his death in 1918, and the second from 1911 to 1913. Together with the first book of Preludes, Claudio Constantini performs the Estampes from 1903 and the Ballade Slave from 1890; and next to the second book of Preludes, his Images oubliées from 1894.
