Thierry De Brunhoff's "Le Piano d'Ulysse de Handel à Debussy" is a captivating journey through the classical piano repertoire, released on January 1, 1962, under the BNF Collection label. This album, spanning a concise 43 minutes, is a testament to De Brunhoff's virtuosity and his ability to navigate diverse compositions with finesse.
The tracklist is a delightful mix of well-known pieces and hidden gems, showcasing the evolution of classical piano music from the baroque period to the early 20th century. It opens with Handel's "Keyboard Suites, Vol. 1, Suite No. 5 in E Major, HWV 430: Air and Variations 'The Harmonious Blacksmith'" and closes with Debussy's "Children's Corner, L. 113: Golliwog's Cake-Walk," offering a broad historical perspective.
De Brunhoff's interpretation of these pieces is marked by a deep understanding of each composer's unique style. From the playful "Le coucou" by Rameau to the whimsical "Happy Farmer, Returning from Work" by Schumann, and the evocative "Clair de lune" by Debussy, each track is rendered with clarity and sensitivity. The album also features lesser-known works like "La tartine de beurre" by Couperin and "From the Diary of a Fly" by Bartók, adding an element of discovery to the listening experience.
The album's title, "Le Piano d'Ulysse de Handel à Debussy," suggests a journey through time, with De Brunhoff as the guide. His playing is characterized by a light touch and a keen sense of phrasing, making this album a rewarding listen for both casual listeners and classical music enthusiasts.
