Debussy: Impressionniste (Various Artists)

Claude Debussy's taste for the arts, and for painting in particular, is well known. His wide-ranging interests ran from the Italian paintings of the Renaissance to the masterpieces of Symbolism and Art Nouveau, by way of Japanese prints and Impressionism. This specially-priced collection aims to show how music and painting inspired his compositions. Featured performances include Jean-Guihen Queyras and Alexandre Tharaud in Cello Sonata No.1 and Jean-Claude Casadesus leading the Orchestre National de Lille in La Mer.
