• This fascinating CD brings together the works that Claude Debussy wrote on texts by his friend, the poet Pierre Louys: the Chansons de Bilitis.

• Louys claimed that the poems were translations from the ancient Greek, a falsification as they were entirely his own.. The poems are in the manner of Sappho and deal with the erotically charged world of nymphs, fauns, naiades, shepherds and ancient greek gods.

• This new recordings presents the three songs for voice and piano Chansons de Bilitis, as well as the complete “musique de scene pour accompagner la recitation avec tableaux vivents da 12 poemes de Pierre Louys (1903)” for voice, 2 flutes, 2 harps and celesta. Also included are the “Six Epigraphes antiques” for piano 4 hands (its titles deriving from Louys’ poetry) and the famous La flute de Pan for flute solo.

• Beautifully performed by Elisabetta Lombardi (mezzo soprano), Claudia Giottoli (flute) and Filippo Farinelli (piano).
