 Re: Marcellus Plays Debussy, 3 Performances

I’ve been fortunate enough to have heard many excellent performances of the Debussy Rhapsody; a few of them have been live. I don’t think it is the most abused piece in the repertoire, by any means (that’s a distinction I reserve for the Brahms Sonatas), though the Rhapsody can and does rather brutally expose certain limitations, both technically and musically, in any given player on any given day. This must have made it frighteningly ideal as a Solo de Concours, though I can only imagine the trepidation many at the Conservatoire must have felt when it was given to them. It must have seemed both a fortunate honor and a mighty standard to bear.

Pseudo-mysticism is unhelpful and clouds the issue (which is of course why it’s used). This piece is not unapproachable, nor is it impossible to separate great performances from lousy performances (and everything in between).
