MUSIC OF TRIBUTE Vol. 2
DEBUSSY
Pavlina Dokovska: piano
works by Debussy, Dukas, de Falla, and others
Pavlina Dokovska records little-known tributes to Claude Debussy and music of Debussy
When Debussy died in 1918, the French magazine La revue musicale commissioned ten leading composers of the day - including Bartok, Stravinsky, Satie, Ravel and Manuel de Falla - to compose tributes to the pioneering French composer. The outstanding Bulgarian-American pianist Pavlina Dokovska, the Brazilian guitarist Carlos Barbosa-Lima and others have recorded the complete set alternating tribute pieces with Debussy's own piano music, mostly taken from his two books of Préludes but also including such gems as L'isle joyeuse and La plus que lente.
Most of the works that constitute the Tombeau de Claude Debussy or Epitaph to Claude Debussy are little known and have been recorded here for the first time. Nevertheless, they are important works of music in their own right. Three of them became the basis for larger works: the Ravel Duo for violin and cello later expanded into a Sonata, the Falla which became part of a set of Homenajas for guitar, and the Satie, the first of a group of Quatre Petites Melodies for voice and piano.
In addition to the five composers already mentioned, other contributors included Paul Dukas, Eugene Goosens, Florent Schmitt and Albert Roussel. This recording constitutes the second in Labor Records' composer tribute series. Music of Tribute Vol. 1 is dedicated to the music of Villa-Lobos.
