Impressions - the Sound of Debussy

2018 brings the 100th anniversary of the death (25 March 1918, at the age of 55) of Claude Debussy, one of history's greatest composers and the most influential of all

French composers. This 3-CD set gathers together Debussy's best-loved masterpieces, the foundation of his reputation, along with a few works that remain lesser-known.

Among the rarities is the world-premiere recording of Chanson des brises (1882) for female voices and piano - a work which until now had even remained undiscovered.

All the works included in the set are performed by top-class musicians:

Pierre-Laurent Aimard · Michel Béroff · Renaud Capuçon · Philippe Cassard · Bertrand Chamayou · Aldo Ciccolini · André Cluytens · Michel Debost · Claude Debussy · Natalie Dessay · Yuri Egorov · Samson François · Carlo Maria Giulini · Lily Laskine · Jean Martinon · Yehudi Menuhin · Edgar Moreau · Emmanuel Pahud · Quatuor Ébène · Sir Simon Rattle · Yutaka Sado.

"Music would take over at the point at which words become powerless, with the one and only object of expressing that which nothing but music could express... I love music passionately. And because I love it I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it... There is no theory. You only have to listen. Pleasure is the law". (Claude Debussy)
