"‘Fascinating’
Ivan Ilić is one of America’s leading young pianists. In his new CD, he takes on Claude Debussy’s Préludes in an entirely original and fascinating way: rather than wading into oceans of misty-eyed tone colors, he approaches them simply and analytically. In this way, he arrives at a purified tableau: one that remains comprehensive and iridescent, but doesn’t distract from the masterly form of the miniatures."
