An oceanic dialogue between two composers from the first wave of the modern musical era: such is Aline Piboule’s daring new solo venture. Here the epic La Mer sprays it’s rainbow of colors as idiomatically as if Debussy had written it for solo piano, like D’un cahier d’esquisses and the famous Clair de lune. In echo, John Ireland’s piano triptychs, Sarnia and Decorations, conjure up the Channel Islands in bewitching musical poetry.
