Andrew Le - Debussy: 12 Etudes, L. 136 (2018)

From Harris Goldsmith of the New York Concert Review (Winter 2005) on Andrew Le's Carnegie Hall debut:

"Then came a complete performance of Debussy's Douze Etudes...it would be hard to imagine a more successful version of these cryptic, fearsomely difficult studies...Mr. Le not only made light of them insolently; he infused each vignette with exquisite balance and humor...Le's version [of Pour les huit doigts] whisked past us with Concorde-like virtuosity. And his octaves...repeated notes, and treacherously skipping chords likewise left nothing to be desired. Le, I hope, will someday make a new recording of these Etudes: he has this writer thinking of Daniel Ericourt's distinguished early 1960s version: which is high praise indeed."
