Paris, France Apr 26, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - Minstrels - Claude Debussy by Maëla Raoult :
Arranged, interpreted and produced by Maëla Raoult
A minstrel show is an American comedy in which white actors like to grim in black ones. Minstrels is also one of Claude Debussy’s two books of Preludes for solo piano written between 1909 and 1913. Debussy wrote these two books of impressionist music as a tribute to and a reminder of Frederic Chopin’s preludes. It’s a free, poetical, and imaginative invitation to dream and travel. No piano for this arrangement by Maëla but a mix and melt of clarinet and bass clarinet colors played with volubility, dexterity, and virtuosity. A tinkling phrasing accompanied by an immediately recognizable sound.
