i am dumb July 1, 2004

And I'm a doomass because I didn't proof-read my other review and I wrote that Clair de Lune was performed by piano on this disc, which it isn't. Anyway, the piano version is better.
Debussy is hot July 1, 2004

This is a good selection to get to know the music of Debussy. It provides great examples of his style of writing music and his impressionalistic nature. Don't let the fact that La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin and Clair de Lune are performed on piano cause you to not buy this c.d. Those songs were originally written for solo piano, and I actually think it takes away from the songs to have them orchestrated. Debussy was a master of writing for the piano with his choice of harmonies. The solo piano selections are excellent.

The music and recording quality are excellent. The only disappointment for me was the exclusion of "Nocturne No. 1- Nuages." I would recommend this for anyone as a general introduction to Debussy's music.
essential Debussy CD May 29, 2002

If you only get one Debussy CD, or are new to Debussy (like I was when I bought it) get this one! Even though I was hoping Girl with the Flaxen Hair would be performed with more than just a piano, it still sounds beautiful, as does Claire de Lune, which is (thankfully) played by an orchestra. (the other version I have of Claire de Lune is performed with a piano alone, which didn't seem to do the song justice) I get completely lost in La Mer and Prelude..., and I can't help but smile every time I hear Golliwog's.. (which is also a charming recording). Definitely pick this one up!
 A Fun CD March 28, 2001

The music that is featured on this CD represents the heart of Debussy's writings. The fun and adventurous sounds won't soon be forgetten. It would be difficult to pick a favorite piece off of this CD. The broad range of emotions on this CD includes the joyous tunes of "Golliwogg's Cake-Walk" to the mystical harmonies of "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun." It's a very exciting CD to add to your classical music library.
