To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Claude Debussy's death Deutsche Grammophon releases the legendary, recordings of pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli performing the composer's epic Images books one and two along with the Children's Corner. Award winning pianist Christian Zacharias hails the recordings: "Michelangeli opened my ears, and showed me what a truly great pianist can deliver. He played Debussy's "Images" and "Children's Corner," and I can still hear almost every note. He was devastatingly impressive."
