Claude Debussy:
from Préludes, Livre II

Dmitri Shostakovich:
24 Preludes for Piano, Op. 34

Frank Martin:
8 Préludes pour le piano

The GENUIN debut album of Moscow-born and Hamburg-based pianist Elizaveta Don brings together "Préludes" by three great composers: Claude Debussy, Dmitri Shostakovich, and the lesser-known yet equally significant works by Frank Martin. Elizaveta Don's words about the "Préludes" of the great Swiss composer also apply to the tiny treasures of the other two composers: they are "a journey through uncertainty and hope, reality and surrealism, irony and tragedies." What a stroke of luck for us: We get to embark on nearly forty of these journeys, guided by Elizaveta Don, ensuring the highest musical experience possible!
