The first album by Judith to be recorded live, this is a work highly charged with emotion and truth.
"A live record -the pianist confesses- bears the truth of the moment.
As a performer, I believe in the value of honesty, in the value of what
is unique, of being able to share an instant of real emotion. And that's
what I feel this recording possesses".
Pour le tombeau de Claude Debussy came into
being as a tribute concert played in 2018 to mark the centenary of the
death of the French composer, and it is conceived now in album form as a
journey through the works of Debussy and of composers intimately linked
to him. "I like a concert or a disc to represent a journey and to tell a
story - she explains - and that is why I chose this line of argument
instead of a monographic project. Moreover, I also decided on these
composers because I've have felt particularly close to them in recent
years". In addition, Judith identifies with the aesthetic of the
composers subject of the recording: "although he was born in Mexico, my
father grew up in France, and French culture and a French take on things
have always been very present in my home. Among my childhood memories
there are many afternoons `on the other side of the border´, in
Biarritz, St Jean de Luz, Bayonne… all my life I've had that innate
connection and so I am in the thrall of the colours, the suggestive
nature, the natural sophistication and the aesthetic of Debussy, Ravel,
Poulenc… That explains why I feel so good in general with music
connected with Paris, such as that by Chopin, Falla or Mompou” she
remembers.
