Excuse My Jaw Down There On the Floor posted by Anthony McCarthy

Never heard of Lazare Levy before happening by this last night and I still can’t believe it. This might be the best Debussy playing I’ve ever heard in my life.

Masques.

The recording was made in 1937 and has a very high noise to signal ratio but the playing is astonishing and he just about certainly heard the style from Debussy or those close to him first hand.
