Enescu International Festival 2019: Debussy and Clara Schumann

Francois-Frederic Guy plays Book 2 of Debussy's Preludes and Lumini葲a Petre performs Clara Schumann's Three Romances, Op 22, at the 2019 George Enescu International Festival.

Sarah Walker presents more performances from the 2019 George Enescu International Festival.

Today, the second book of piano Preludes by Debussy, written in 1912, just a few years after the first book, these atmospheric pieces create sound worlds all their own in a typically Debussian style. And the Clara Schumann Romances are similarly definitive of her style, which shares so much with her husband Robert's.
