Overview

Larisa Dedova – Claude Debussy: Preludes is a landmark 1985 release featuring the exquisite interpretation of Debussy’s two books of Preludes by the talented pianist Larisa Dedova. Issued as a 2xLP set by the USSR label Мелодия, this stereo recording captures the delicate nuance, impressionistic textures, and poetic elegance of Debussy’s solo piano masterpieces.

Claude Debussy (1862–1918) is often regarded as the first Impressionist composer, though he himself rejected the label. His music reshaped late 19th- and early 20th-century piano literature, emphasizing color, atmosphere, and innovative harmonic language. Dedova’s performance brings clarity, emotion, and precision to every piece, making this LP set essential for lovers of French piano music and classical collectors.
