Interludes to Debussy's Preludes- anyone heard of them?

on: June 19, 2021, 11:49:01 AM

I went to a recital a few years ago where the pianist played Debussy's Preludes with newly composed intermissions- the first combined influences from Preludes 1/2, the second from 2/3 and so on. I've lost the program so I don't have the name of the pianist/composer/any of the piece titles to search online

Can anyone help?

Never heard of them. Sounds like an interesting idea. Let us know if you find them!

The composer is Stephen Goss; see Bryce Morrison in the Gramophone at https://www.gramophone.co.uk/review/debussy-goss-preludes-and-interludes. See also Presto Classical at https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/7979537--debussy-goss-preludes-and-interludes.

I found the pieces (listed at the bottom for those who don't read French)
https://www.revuepiano.com/articles/articles.php?idarticle=2572&fajax=ajax_article_timeline.htm

Seems the pianist commissioned them from various composers; some of them easier to track down than others- here is the first (played between Bk.2/1 and 2/2):

The Stephen Goss pieces also sound interesting though, I'm definitely going to give them a listen!

Those are a lot of the top composers from France of the last 50 years, very serious stuff. Would also love to hear them; have they been recorded?

I managed to find a recording of the Book 2 concert, but still searching for the Book 1...
