Piano professor featured on historic CD release

Professor of piano Jean-Louis Haguenauer was featured on the first CD entirely dedicated to French composer Claude Debussy.

The four-CD set is a historic release, according to the Jacobs School of Music.

It is the first CD release featuring all piano and voice compilation of Debussy, containing more than five hours of music and 100 songs.

“Claude Debussy: Melodies Integrate” includes songs by the artist that were only recently discovered.

The CD features Haguenauer playing the famous composer’s songs.

“As a young boy, I was familiar with one of the big vocal interpreters of Debussy, Irène Joachim,” Haguenauer said in the press release. “When I was 18, I accompanied classes she gave on his vocal music and that began the crazy love I then developed. It took a while to fully internalize, but that was the determining factor of my love for Debussy.”

Haguenauer has worked with Debussy’s music for decades, according to the music school.
