First, Blechacz's picked-out melody sings out brightly with passionate amour from within lucid-textured cascading figures. Then in comes Kim, counterfoiling her equal romance with a clean, supple sound. Engineering-wise, as well, there's a nicely egalitarian balance between the two of them. What does remain constant, is the sheer energy and drive, aided by Kim's sound itself: direct and ardent, with mahogany-hued lower registers contrasting with sweetly ringing, singing upper ones. This all combines to especial effect with the Debussy, in an unusually driven, emotional-ly strong reading of this autumnal work. One of Kim's most effective gifts here is her spotlighting of Debussy's linguistic debt to the Orient; listen in the first movement to how grace-note inflections and sur la touche playing is so very husky and languorous that the parallels with Asian voice flute are unmissable.
