Debussy: Suite Bergamasque & more
Martino Tirimo
“Tirimo has a quite exceptional temperamental affinity with Debussy, with a fine ear for resonance and sonority, and exquisite subtlety of touch. He lavishes loving care on the most unassuming miniature… and he can bring the most familiar bonbon to life without resort to trickery—hear the languid elegance and velvety cantabile of Clair de lune, for example. No less impressive is his marvelously subtle account of the concluding ‘Toccata’ from Pour le piano…This is not calculated to make you gasp in amazement; but what it does provoke, with remarkable consistency, is smiles of recognition at the revelation of unsuspected beauty” © Gramophone
