Decca 478 3691

150 years after Claude Debussy’s birth, Decca celebrates the genius of this inimitable French composer in a program of his definitive and best-loved works. Taking the exquisite Clair de lune – heard here in the piano original and an orchestral arrangement – as a starting point, this collection journey’s through orchestral works, piano favourites and more, in a tribute to Debussy’s gift for colour, evocation and, above all, beauty.
