Mark Swartzentruber’s… playing leaves you once more in awe of Debussy. Hear him at the close of Reflets clans l’eau, magically sensitive to the composer’s receding vision. His rubato in Hommage à Rameau is subtle and pervasive, quickening and relaxing the music’s mood and pulse with an aristocratic ease and naturalness… all these performances show an enviable mix of clarity and lucidity, colour and variety.
