EMI Classics for Pleasure 5682372 (recorded April 1993; CD issued 1994)

Recording venue: No.1 Studio, Abbey Road, Londom
Recording engineer: Mark Vigars; Producer: Simon Woods
These recordings made when she was in her late 70s, fairly represent the subtle and distinctive playing of Dame Moura Lympany and Debussy's extraordinary pianism. Pure pleasure from beginning to end. Moura Lympany was a great virtuoso throughout her life from youth to old age and just a few slips show up here. She clearly loved what she played and wanted to display it in its best light.
Unfortunately, CfPs curiously bland booklet notes do not do the recording justice.
