Both a challenge and an adventure, the recording I made of the Etudes by Debussy lives on as a wonderful memory of friendship. Having encouraged me to record the complete set of twelve works, my friend and respected colleague Catherine Collard, an irreplaceable artist and great admirer of Debussy, did me the honour of acting as artistic director. Her unobtrusive presence and sensitive, insightful feedback gave me wings. [...] Taking the genre beyond the dry term of study", Debussy and Chopin, true geniuses the pair of them, dazzle and move their listeners. Within this music lies life, anything but abstract." - Anne Queffelec, 2023
