DEBUSSY (THE VERY BEST OF)
Claude Debussy’s music combines late nineteenth-century Romanticism with a soundscape that has been called an audible version of an Impressionist painting. This 2-CD set includes Debussy’s most frequently performed and recorded works, including Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, excerpts from Images, and his opera Pelléas and Mélisande.
