About this concert

Admirers of Angela Hewitt’s carefully carved niche within the piano world will rejoice in this programme largely devoted to the early masterworks of Claude Debussy. It is refreshing to find the three early suites given such prominence and for this concert they are placed alongside a contemporaneous masterpiece by Fauré – the great Ballade Op. 19 in its solo piano version – and two later Debussy showpieces, which will in turn be heard after rarely performed works written in tribute to him by Roussel and Dukas.
